Holidays by country:
How the days are counted
- Today is not counted; the day you count to is. On December 24, Christmas is 1 day away.
- Sleeps are the nights left before the day, which is the same number as the days.
- The live clock counts to midnight at the start of the day, in your own time zone.
- Weekdays are Monday to Friday between tomorrow and the date. Pick a country to see its public holidays in that span.
\text{days left} = \text{date} - \text{today}
Example: from October 19, 2026 to New Year’s Day
October 19 to January 1, 2027 is 74 days: 2 months 13 days, or 10 weeks 4 days.

Frequently asked questions
How many days until Christmas?
From today, October 19, 2026, there are 67 days until Christmas Day, Friday, December 25, 2026.
Does the count include today?
No. Today is not counted and the target day is, so the day before an event shows 1 day left.
What time zone does the countdown use?
Your device’s. The live clock counts to midnight at the start of the date where you are.
Why do Diwali and Eid change date every year?
They follow lunar calendars, which are about 11 days shorter than the solar year. Eid also depends on sighting the new moon, so it can differ by a day between countries.
