The Geniuses At Netflix Are Streaming A Fake New Year’s Eve Countdown So You Can Put Your Kids To Bed Early
CNN reports that Netflix is offering a three-minute countdown hosted by King Julien, the animated lemur from Netflix’s own series, “All Hail King Julien.” In a statement released by Netflix, the fictional character says, “Move over, Ryan Seacrest, I’ve got my very own on-demand countdown party on Netflix.”
This is awesome. I can countdown to the new year with my four-year-old and one-year-old, put them to bed, then run over to my sister’s house for a New Year’s Eve party. We didn’t plan on counting down the new year with our young kids because we actually have a babysitter tonight — but now we get the best of both worlds. We can let them in on the fun little yearly ritual and still go have some child-free time. Cute!
It seems like there is a limited window when this will actually work, so take advantage of it while you can. Or hide all of the clocks in your house. Whatever works.
Happy New Year!
