How many days until Christmas?
The counter above shows exactly how long is left until December 25 — days, hours, minutes and seconds, updating live. Once Christmas passes, it rolls forward automatically, so the page always counts down to the next Christmas without you doing anything.
When is Christmas?
Christmas Day is December 25 every year, a fixed date on the calendar. Many people also count down to Christmas Eve on December 24, when a lot of celebrations and gift-giving actually happen; this counter targets the start of the 25th.
How many weeks until Christmas?
Divide the days remaining shown above by seven for the number of weeks. As a rough guide: from the start of October there are about 12 weeks to go, from the start of November about 7–8 weeks, and from December 1 just over 3 weeks.
How do I use this Christmas countdown?
It starts the moment the page loads and runs entirely in your browser — no sign-up, works offline once loaded. Because the date advances by itself each year, you can bookmark it and it will keep counting down to the next Christmas, year after year.
Local time in your browser. Targets midnight at the start of December 25 and rolls over automatically each year.
