About this calculation
This page counts down to Christmas, automatically using the next upcoming occurrence — so once this year's date passes, it rolls over to next year without you having to do anything.
The countdown recalculates from today's real date every time the page loads. Below you will also find the weekday it falls on, how far away it is in weeks, and a table comparing it with other major dates.

When is Christmas this year?

Does the countdown update automatically?
Yes. The number is recalculated from your device's current date on every page load, so it never goes stale.
Is Christmas on the same date every year?
Yes, it falls on 12/25 every year. Only the weekday changes.
How do I count down on my own?
Work out the difference in days between today and the target date. Because month lengths vary, it is safer to let a tool do it — or to count in weeks if you only need a rough figure.
