How Many Days Until Christmas 2026?
The countdown to Christmas is running: Friday, December 25, 2026.
A live countdown to Christmas Day, updating every second in your own time zone.
About this countdown
Christmas Day lands on the same date every year, which makes it the easiest countdown of all to get right: there is a fixed date, and the only question is how much of it is left. This page counts down to Christmas Day 2026 and keeps counting to the second, in your own time zone, with nothing to set up.
Open it on the second screen of a shop, on a projector in a classroom, or on the television at home. Put it in full screen and it becomes the advent display everyone keeps glancing at. Share the link and the family can watch the same number at the same time.
