A live Christmas countdown clock — the exact days, hours, minutes and seconds until Christmas Day. Big, projector-friendly numbers for classrooms and families, no sign-up needed.

One countdown, four ways to count
The classic count is how many days until Christmas. Younger children often prefer how many sleeps, planners like weeks and days, and families who celebrate on the 24th can use the Christmas Eve countdown. Looking for a specific year? See days until Christmas 2026. Need a minute countdown for holiday games? Use the Christmas timer.
Accurate to the second, in your time zone
The countdown sets the next December 25 once and compares it against your device clock every second — so sleeping tabs, locked screens and slow projectors can’t make it drift. It uses your local time zone, so every classroom sees the right number. If you also run minute-long activities, the classroom timer uses the same precise approach.
FAQ
How many days until Christmas?
The big number on this page counts down live to December 25 in your local time zone — days, hours, minutes and seconds, updated every second. After Christmas Day it rolls over to next year automatically, so the page is always accurate.
Can I show the countdown on a classroom screen?
Yes — press Fullscreen and the countdown fills the whole display, perfect for the morning countdown ritual in the last week of term.
Do I need an account or an app?
No — it runs right in the browser on laptops, tablets and interactive whiteboards. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
How is this different from the Christmas timer?
This page counts down to the date — December 25. The Christmas timer is a minutes-and-seconds countdown you start yourself for holiday games and activities. Many teachers use both.
Does it work offline?
Yes — after the first load the countdown keeps running without internet, so it survives classroom Wi-Fi dropouts.
