Counting Down to Christmas
A short guide to the Christmas countdown: the live timer, how it's calculated, and how to save or share it.
What does this Christmas timer show?
The timer above counts the exact time until Christmas, broken into days, hours, minutes, and seconds, and it ticks live every second. Below it you’ll also find the total in months and weeks, plus a few handy facts about the date — the day of the week it falls on, and whether it’s in a leap year.
How is the time until Christmas calculated?
It’s measured from your device’s current time to Christmas in your own local time zone, so the result is right for wherever you are. Because it reads your live clock rather than a saved snapshot, the numbers stay accurate the whole time the page is open.
How do I keep this Christmas countdown?
Yes. Use Share on the countdown to copy a link, or Add to calendar to drop the date into your calendar app. Want your own event with a custom name? Build one on the custom countdown page.
Why can you trust this countdown?
The countdown runs entirely in your browser using your device’s clock and time zone, so there’s no lag from a server and nothing is stored. Daylight-saving changes are handled automatically, which keeps the day and time correct right up to the moment Christmas arrives.
