About this countdown
Countdown to Christmas Day, wherever you are.
Christmas 2026 doesn't arrive everywhere at once, it sweeps around the planet, hitting midnight timezone by timezone from the Pacific westward. Sydney gets there hours before New York. The counter above uses your device's own timezone, so it's counting to the moment it happens where you are, not somewhere else.
Bookmark it and the countdown keeps ticking; share the link and each person sees it in their own timezone automatically.
