How Many Days Until Christmas?
Dates & timeFreeNo sign-up
Christmas Day is December 25. The countdown below uses your device’s clock, so it is always live: days, hours, minutes and seconds, the number of sleeps, and how many days remain until the other major holidays.
How the countdown works
The page takes today’s date from your device and counts whole days to the next December 25. “Sleeps” equals the number of days, since you sleep once per night before the big day. Movable holidays are calculated by rule: Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November, Memorial Day the last Monday of May, Labor Day the first Monday of September and Mother’s Day the second Sunday of May.
The math of Easter
Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21, so it falls between March 22 and April 25. The calculator uses the anonymous Gregorian algorithm (often credited to Meeus), which turns that rule into a few divisions and remainders.
Counting days by hand
Add the days left in the current month to the full months before December, then add 25. From November 12: 18 days left in November + 25 = 43 days until Christmas.
