Midnight, shmidnight. 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 designed for preschoolers, tweens and everyone in between. Kids can pick their favorite character or ring in the new year again and again with countdowns.
According to new research from Netflix, more than half of parents around the world (58%) would jump at the chance to put their kids to bed before the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s Eve. With six on-demand countdown specials launching today, you can make 10, 9, 8 or any time midnight. You choose when it’s time to say goodnight and the kids choose how to celebrate with their favorite characters!
While 97% of parents across the globe are spending New Year’s Eve as a family, how the celebration unfolds varies by region.
- Parents in the US, UK, Canada and Australia agree 9 p.m. is the new midnight. Nearly half of parents in these countries say they’d countdown those famous 10 seconds by 9 p.m. (49%).
- Parents down under can’t wait for bedtime. One-third of Aussie parents (34%) admit they’d hit the sack themselves after kissing the kids goodnight — long before midnight.
- Italian and French parents are getting cozy with their significant others after lights out. Parents in both countries most look forward to spending time with their other half after putting the kids to sleep (51% and 43%, respectively).
- Parents love a good party in Spain and Mexico. 50% of parents in both countries can’t wait to kick off the parents-only party after tucking in their little ones.
- American parents aren’t afraid to play trickster. 41% of US parents have or plan to use a special New Year’s Eve countdown as a way to get their kids to bed early.
- Brazilian parents say it’s all about family time. Nearly two-thirds of parents in Brazil agree the best part about an on-demand countdown is being able to celebrate the holiday as a family (63%).
No matter where you are, start your party anytime, anywhere by searching New Year’s Eve Countdown on Netflix. And we won’t tell them it’s not midnight if you don’t.
I’ll be over here snoozing.
hahahahaaaaa. I didn’t expect to see you with the eye cover. BRILLIANT. Because you know our whole family has done King Julian’s countdown for the last four years and there’s no end in sight. I love that little lemur.
How fun! I had no idea this existed (although we also are probably the only family that doesn’t have Netflix – crazy, I know). We celebrate each year with friends that throw a “British” themed party so we can toast at midnight GMT (7pm ET) and still be home and in bed before midnight! I can’t recall the last time I made it up for the real deal. Hope your New Year is off to a great start!
