Netflix will help you get the kids to bed this New Year’s Eve

Last year, Netflix got some goodwill by giving parents New Year countdowns they could roll out whenever it was time to get the tykes down for the night.

Well, the countdowns are back.

This year, Netflix has created six countdowns featuring characters that are kid favourites:

• Care Bears & Cousins
• Inspector Gadget
• King Julien
• Project Mc2
• Puffin Rock

The sixth countdown has Mr. Peabody and Sherman pulling in Hiccup and Toothless (How to Train Your Dragon), Puss in Boots, the Croods, and Dinotrux to help with the countdown.

The short videos are on-demand, so you can play them whenever you’re kids are ready for bed. Or you’re ready for them to go to bed.

Happy New Year.
