How the Christmas countdown works
The counter uses your device's clock and time zone, so “midnight on Christmas morning” means midnight where you are — someone in Sydney reaches zero hours before someone in New York. The big number in the headline counts calendar days (sleeps) from today's date to December 25; the tiles count down to the exact second. On Christmas Day the page says “Merry Christmas!”, and from December 26 it switches to the following year automatically.
2026–2027 holiday dates
Thanksgiving (U.S.) is the fourth Thursday of November: Thursday, November 26, 2026. Hanukkah 2026 starts at sundown on Friday, December 4 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, December 12; the counter targets the start of December 4. Christmas is Friday, December 25, 2026, and New Year's Day is Friday, January 1, 2027. Chinese New Year 2027 — the Year of the Goat — is Saturday, February 6, 2027, while Korea's Seollal falls on Sunday, February 7, 2027 (holiday February 6–9) because the new moon arrives just after midnight Korea time.
