Christmas Countdown

How to use

How many days until Christmas? This live countdown shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left until 25 December in your own time zone, and turns into a Merry Christmas message on the day. Put it on the TV, a classroom board or a spare screen.

How to use it

  1. Open the page; the countdown starts straight away.
  2. Turn on Flip cards for animated split-flap digits.
  3. Press F or the fullscreen button for a clean countdown on the whole screen.

Make it festive

Put the countdown on the TV during an advent party, or on the classroom projector for the last weeks of term. Next to it, a fireplace screen on a second screen adds a warm glow. Counting down to something else? Make your own event countdown.

Questions

When does the countdown end?

At midnight at the start of 25 December, in the time zone of your device. On Christmas Day it shows Merry Christmas, then starts counting to next year.

Can I count down to Christmas Eve instead?

Yes. Use the event countdown, set 24 December and share the link.

How do I go fullscreen?

Press F on a keyboard, or use the fullscreen button in the bar at the bottom. Press Esc or F again to leave. On iPhone, Safari does not allow real fullscreen, so add the page to your home screen for the cleanest view.
