Midnight, shmidnight - Netflix has early NYE countdowns

This year you can celebrate as a family and still have time for a parents-only party with a whole new set of New Year’s Eve countdowns on Netflix.

Why stay up late to ring in the new year, when you can trick the kids (and maybe even grandma) into thinking they're staying up until midnight!

Netflix launched a set of New Year's Eve countdowns so you can start the party anytime.

Here are the six different themes to choose from, each stars animated and live action characters:

• Project Mc2 girls
• Care Bears & Cousins
• Inspector Gadget
• Puffin Rock
• Mr. Peabody & Sherman
• King Julien
