Live Countdowns

A countdown timer marks the time remaining until a specific date or moment — useful for everything from waiting on a holiday, a launch day, or a deadline, to building anticipation for an upcoming event. The countdowns on this page update live, second by second, computed against UTC so they stay accurate regardless of where you are in the world.

Choose from popular pre-built countdowns above (Christmas, New Year, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter and more), or jump to a specific year. Need something custom? Use the Create a Countdown tool to make a live countdown to any date and time you choose.

Bookmark this page to come back any time — each pre-built countdown automatically rolls over to the next occurrence after the event passes, so they're always live and current.
