It happens every New Year’s Eve: your kids want to stay up late and party but you’d rather they stick to their sleep schedule and allow you to stay up late for some adult-style celebration.

Luckily technology is on your side. With the help of Netflix and a little white lie, parents can stream an on-demand countdown courtesy of the new series “All Hail King Julien” at any time, preserving bedtime while providing a little welcome-to-2015 fun.

Play the countdown and celebrate as often as you like, as long as you have a Netflix account.

The first five episodes of the “All Hail King Julien” series debuted on Netflix on Dec. 19.
