You're going to want to hear this if you have Netflix.

If so, Netflix has your back. Beginning Dec. 29, you'll be able to stream a three-minute New Year's Eve countdown hosted by Madagascar's King Julien — at any time you like.

The cute Lemur is also the star of Netflix’s All Hail King Julien series.

This means that you can "welcome" 2015 with your kids at, say, 8 p.m., then tuck them into bed and enjoy the real countdown kid-free!
