Today is day zero
The countdown excludes today and includes Christmas. If today is the event date, the result is zero and the page says “Today.”
How many days until Christmas?
The next Christmas Day is Friday, December 25, 2026. This page counts from today’s Gregorian calendar date in UTC.

Calendar-day distance is absolute: it excludes the earlier date and includes the later date. Weekdays use the same endpoints, count Monday through Friday, and do not remove holidays.
The details
How this Christmas countdown works
Calendar days
UTC calendar dates avoid daylight-saving-time shifts. Leap days are included automatically whenever they fall in the interval.
Weekdays
The weekday total counts Monday through Friday. It does not remove public holidays or regional non-working days.
The day-before example
From December 24 to December 25 is one calendar day. On Christmas Day the countdown reaches zero, and on December 26 it begins counting toward the following year.
Weeks plus remaining days
The weeks display divides the calendar-day total into complete seven-day blocks and a remainder. It is another way to read the same interval, not a separate estimate.
Plan a working-day deadline
Shipping cutoffs and office schedules may exclude weekends and holidays. Use the business-days calculator for a holiday-aware count, or open the 2026 December calendar.
