How many days until a date?
Subtract today’s date from the target date in calendar days. Today doesn’t count, but the event day itself does. From November 3, 2026 there are 52 days until Christmas (December 25, 2026) and 59 days until New Year’s Day 2027. The countdown above ticks down live to the second and also shows the wait in weekdays, weekends and “sleeps”.

How to make and share a countdown
- Name the event and pick its date. Add a start time for things like a flight or a product launch.
- Or tap a preset: Christmas, New Year, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and more always jump to the next occurrence.
- Copy the share link. It opens this page with your countdown already filled in, so you can send it to friends or pin it in a group chat.
- Bookmark the page and the countdown keeps running from wherever you open it.
“Sleeps” for kids: the number of nights until the event equals the number of days. Five sleeps until a birthday means the party is the day after the fifth night.

Countdowns: frequently asked questions
Tap the Christmas preset for a live countdown. From November 3, 2026 it is 52 days until Christmas Day, December 25, 2026.
No. Today is not counted, but the target day is, so tomorrow is 1 day away. This matches how most countdowns and calendars count.
Yes. Set a time and the countdown runs to that minute in your local time zone, for example a 7:30 PM flight or midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Click ‘Copy share link’. The link carries the event name, date and time, so anyone who opens it sees the same countdown.
Easter Sunday 2027 is March 28. The Easter preset always finds the next one using the standard Gregorian algorithm.
The counter switches to time since the event, for example days since a wedding or a quit date.
The ‘weekdays left’ tile counts Monday to Friday between today and the target. To skip holidays too, use the business days calculator.
