Parents can now countdown to the new year twice, after Netflix announced it will offer its Indian subscribers a fake countdown on New Year's Eve to fool the kids.

The fake countdown aims to make sure the kids are in bed well before the New Year's Eve witching hour so the parents can party like it's 1999 (RIP Prince)
