How the countdown works
The timer counts down to midnight at the start of Christmas in your own time zone, using your device's clock, and updates every second. "Sleeps" counts the nights remaining — a favourite with children. If you are planning around a different date, try the days between dates calculator or add business days with the date calculator.
