About holiday countdowns
This is the holiday countdown hub: live, second-by-second clocks for every major celebration on Earth — Christmas, New Year, Halloween, Easter, Lunar New Year (Tết), Ramadan, Diwali, Thanksgiving and more. The grid above always sorts the nearest holiday first, so one glance answers "what's coming up next?"
Every countdown here understands its own calendar. Fixed dates like Christmas and Halloween simply roll over each year; moving feasts are computed properly — Easter from the lunisolar church rules, Thanksgiving from its fourth-Thursday rule, Tết, Diwali and the Mid-Autumn Festival from precise lunar tables, and Ramadan from the expected crescent moon. Each holiday counts down to midnight in your own timezone, because Christmas in Hanoi starts before Christmas in New York.
Click any holiday for its full page: a beautiful fullscreen countdown, the story and traditions behind the date, a table of upcoming years, and answers to the questions everyone asks. You can also pin any holiday to your own personal countdown page — one click, no account needed.
