Counting Down to Christmas Eve
Everything you need to know about the time until Christmas Eve.
How does the Christmas Eve countdown work?
The timer above counts the exact time until Christmas Eve, 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 do you work out the days until Christmas Eve?
It’s measured from your device’s current time to Christmas Eve 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.
Can I share or save this 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.
Is this Christmas Eve countdown accurate?
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 Eve arrives.
