Why countdowns differ around the world
Christmas Day is a calendar date, but local midnight happens at different instants in different timezones. A countdown set to New York midnight will reach zero at a different time from one set to London, India, or Sydney midnight.
The homepage clock uses your deviceās own timezone. Use this selector when you want to compare a listed timezone. The tool converts that timezoneās next December 25 midnight into an instant and shows the remaining duration from now.
Keep your own device settings accurate
Your browser needs a correct clock for the comparison. Timezone rules can also change due to government decisions, so this page relies on the timezone database supplied by your browser. It is a planning aid, not a substitute for official travel or event schedules.
Return to the main days-until-Christmas counter for a local-time answer, or use the date calculator for another target date.
Compare when Christmas starts in two cities
On December 25, midnight in London is 7 p.m. on December 24 in New York. At that moment, the New York clock still has five hours until its own December 25. Switch between cities in the selector to compare their local dates and countdowns.
After a city reaches midnight on December 25, its timer targets the following Christmas. Another city can still be counting down to this year. For your deviceās own timezone, open the main Christmas clock.
