Staying up until midnight on Dec. 31 can be a tough task — particularly for the little ones! That's why Rock the Cradle Radio has set up a New Year's countdown every hour on the hour starting at 5 p.m., accompanied by a New Year's party playlist for kids and grownups to enjoy together.

And for those who'd like to count down to 2017 whenever they'd like, Mac Wilson has recorded a stream-able New Year countdown you can listen to — and count down along to — by using the audio player above.

Happy New Year from The Current and from Rock the Cradle Radio!
