Exact time remaining
Calendar days above compare dates. This live timer counts from right now, whatever Count from date is chosen.
Counting to the start of Christmas Day, Friday, December 25, 2026, in your time zone.
The timer counts down to midnight at the start of December 25 in your time zone. It shows complete 24-hour days, so late in the day it can read one less than the date count above. For example, at 3 pm the date count says 46 while the timer says 45 days and 9 hours. Both are correct; they answer slightly different questions.
One rule is used for every number on this page: calendar days by date. The Count from date is not counted and Christmas Day is. Weekdays are the Monday-to-Friday dates in that span, so Christmas Day itself counts when it falls on a weekday.
Example: from November 9 to December 25, 2026 is 46 days, which is 6 weeks and 4 days, with 34 weekdays and 46 sleeps.
A “sleep” is a night. The sleeps before Christmas morning equal the calendar days to December 25, so on December 24 there is 1 sleep and on December 25 there are 0.

Christmas countdown questions
Why do other countdowns show a different number?
Some count today as a day, some stop at Christmas Eve and some round a timer up or down. We count calendar days from the Count from date to December 25, and say so on the page.
Is the count the same in every time zone?
The date count uses your device’s date, so it changes when your local date changes. The live timer counts to midnight at the start of December 25 in your own time zone.
Do weekdays include Christmas Day?
Yes, when Christmas Day falls on a Monday to Friday. The counted span includes the end date and leaves out the start date.
