Counting down to Christmas
Christmas Day falls on December 25 every year, and this countdown updates itself automatically once the day has passed — so the same link always shows the days left until the next Christmas. Customise the style and background to match the season, then share the link with family or embed the countdown on a blog, invite page or online shop counting down to the holidays.
A free countdown to any date
Set any date and this tool counts down the years, days, hours, minutes and seconds until it arrives — a wedding, a vacation, a product launch, an exam, or the New Year. It handles time zones and daylight saving so the countdown is right for everyone, and you can share it with a link or embed it on your own site. No signup, no ads over the countdown.

Tap a template to start one instantly, then customise the style and share it. Each template rolls over to next year automatically once the date passes.
Share and embed your countdown
Every countdown has its own link, so friends, family or your team can open the exact same live countdown. Show a QR code on a printed invite, or copy the embed code to drop a live countdown onto a website, blog, landing page or event page — it works on WordPress, Shopify and anything that accepts an iframe.
Count only the days that matter
Turn on business-days-only to count just Monday to Friday — useful for project deadlines or working out how many workdays are left until a holiday break. Turn on include-today when you want boundary-inclusive counting for planning.
Countdown to a date vs a countdown timer
A countdown timer counts down a length of time you choose, like a 10-minute kitchen timer. A countdown to a date counts down to a fixed point on the calendar, like midnight on New Year's Eve. Use the Countdown Timer for durations, and this tool for dates and events.
