The movie-streaming service has created a countdown to midnight that parents can set to start whenever they want. Want your kids to be in bed by 9 p.m.? No problem.

"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," the company said in a press release.
