90 days until Christmas Day
Friday, December 25, 2026Expected dateCounted in New York time. Today is not included.
In weeks, months and sleeps
Weeks and months are counted from today in New York time, the same way as the day count. "Sleeps" is the number of nights before Christmas Day, which is the same as the days if you count tonight.
About this countdown
Christmas Day is 25 December every year. The count above is the number of full calendar days between today and then, so on Christmas Eve it reads 1 and on the day itself it reads 0.
- Christmas 2026 falls on a Friday.
- The countdown is anchored to New York time. If you are somewhere else, your local midnight may arrive a few hours earlier or later, which can shift the number by one for part of the day.
- Advent calendars start on 1 December and count the same days this page does — just with chocolate.
Questions people ask
How many sleeps until Christmas?
The same as the number of days, if you count the sleep on Christmas Eve. Some families count one fewer and stop at the last sleep before the morning — either way, the number above is the one to start from.
Does this count today?
No. Today is not included. Some sites count today and show one more; some show the time remaining rounded down and show one fewer. This page tells you which rule it uses so you are not left guessing.
How many weeks until Christmas?
The weeks card above has it, with the leftover days. It updates every day along with the count.
Can I put this on my phone?
Yes. The Countdown app for iPhone puts the same count on your lock screen and home screen as a widget, and reminds you when the day is close.
On your lock screen
The Countdown app for iPhone shows this same count under your clock, without unlocking the phone, and reminds you before the day. On an iPhone with the app installed, the banner at the top of Safari opens it with this date already set.
