Have we hung up our hats when it comes to partying the night away on New Year's Eve or is it totally reasonable to hit the hay before the clock strikes midnight?

A new survey of Netflix users around the globe has revealed that many of us want to pack in the annual December 31 celebrations long before midnight.

The survey found that 49 percent of parents think 9pm is the new midnight – not just for their kids – and 41 percent of parents in the US will trick their children into going to bed before the bells ring in the new year.

But it's not just the presence of littlies in the house that pushes some of us to forgo staying up until midnight.

After all, who hasn't feigned illness at least once on NYE in favour of a movie night or even an evening spent cuddled up in bed? If you want to celebrate New Year's a little early this year, we may have the solution to all of that FOMO.

No matter where you are, or what time it is, start your party early by looking up New Year's Eve Countdown on Netflix. That will then bring you to a ten second countdown, so you won't have to miss out on the whole THREE, TWO, ONE, fiasco. 

Pretty cool, huh? We don't know about you, but our food comas tomorrow night might just have us clicking on the ten second countdown at 10pm… or maybe 9pm.
