About these countdowns
Every page counts the time left until the first moment of the holiday, midnight at the start of the day, in the time zone you choose. You see the number of calendar days, the exact days, hours, minutes and seconds, the number of weeks, the working days and weekends in between, and how far through the year you are.
We cover fixed-date holidays such as Christmas, New Year's Day, Halloween and Independence Day, and moving dates such as Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, Black Friday, Lunar New Year and Diwali. Every date is calculated in advance for 2026 to 2030. For holidays that are not listed here, open a country in the holiday calendar and use its Countdown link.

Common questions
How the countdowns work and what they count.
How are the countdowns calculated?
Each countdown runs to the first moment of the holiday, midnight at the start of the day, in the time zone you pick. By default that is the time zone of your device.
Why does the number of days differ from the clock?
The large number counts calendar days, the way people say it: tomorrow is 1 day away. The days, hours, minutes and seconds row shows the exact time left, so it can read one day lower.
Which holidays move from year to year?
Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day, Black Friday, Lunar New Year and Diwali change date each year. Their dates are calculated for every year shown.
Can I count down to my own date?
Not yet. A custom date countdown is planned for this section. Every holiday listed in a country's holiday calendar already has its own countdown.
