No New Years Countdown Option

I got my Sims all settled around the TV for New Year's Eve and had them "watch the New Years Channel" thinking it was the Countdown, but it never fulfilled the requirement to watch the Countdown. I was checking all along to see if there was a Countdown option as well, but there never was. Is this a bug? sd

I had this issue once. My sims got hungry around 10:30pm and stopped watching and had some food. Even though it was not midnight, the sims did not start the countdown again and the tradition was not fulfilled.
