NIST Releases New Year Countdown Video Featuring Professor Second

NIST has released a new year countdown video featuring its mascot, Professor Second, allowing parents to celebrate New Year’s Eve with their children before midnight. The video, available on YouTube, is part of the agency’s efforts to provide a playful countdown for families. NIST noted that companies such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and YouTube Kids had produced similar countdown videos featuring popular characters. Parents can play the video on a television or computer at any time in the evening to simulate the approach of midnight, celebrate with a toast, and then tuck children to bed before the actual midnight hour. The post invites families to share the video and enjoy a light‑hearted countdown experience.
