Counting down to Christmas Eve
December 24, the evening before Christmas Day. This page tracks the next Christmas Eve — Thursday, 24 December 2026 — to the second, in your own local time. When the day arrives the counter reaches zero and then rolls forward to next year on its own, so the countdown is always live. The date is computed with the same calendar rules the rest of the site uses, so a moveable date lands on the right day every year.
