Christmas 2026 falls on Friday, December 25, 2026. Use our live countdown timer above to see the exact number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until Christmas Day.
Christmas Day 2026 is on Friday, December 25th. It falls on a Friday this year, making it perfect for a long holiday weekend with family and friends.
The number of sleeps until Christmas equals the number of days remaining. Check our countdown timer to see exactly how many sleeps are left until Santa arrives with presents!
According to NORAD's Santa tracker, Santa leaves the North Pole on Christmas Eve (December 24th) and travels around the world delivering presents to children on the Nice List.
Santa typically visits while children are sleeping, usually between midnight and 6 AM on Christmas morning. The exact time depends on your time zone and where you are on Santa's route!
You can track Santa's journey around the world on Christmas Eve using NORAD's official Santa Tracker or Google's Santa Tracker. Both services go live on December 24th!
Our Christmas countdown timer helps you track exactly how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds remain until Christmas Day. Whether you're counting down with excited children or planning your holiday preparations, our real-time countdown keeps you updated every second.
The countdown updates automatically and works for any year. Once Christmas 2026 passes, the timer will automatically begin counting down to Christmas 2027, so you can always stay prepared for the most wonderful time of the year.
Fun fact: The tradition of counting down to Christmas dates back to the 19th century with the invention of Advent calendars in Germany. Today, digital countdowns help families around the world build excitement as the big day approaches!
