9:00 p.m. Is the New Midnight This New Year’s Eve: 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, available today only on Netflix, designed for preschoolers, tweens and everyone in between. You choose when to say goodnight, and the kids choose how to celebrate with their favorite characters.
Already dreaming about pressing play on that New Year’s Eve celebration long before the clock strikes twelve? You’re not the only one. According to a recent survey from Netflix, 9:00 p.m. nearly half of U.S. parents (48%) saying they’d like to ring in the new year by 9:00 p.m.
So grab your party hats, noisemakers and 2016 glasses — spoiler alert: they’ll be delivered to your doorstep any minute now — and celebrate those famous 10 seconds, whether the ball has dropped or not. I won’t tell your kids it’s not midnight if you don’t.
