What the Santa countdown shows
This clock counts down to the start of December 24 on your device. Use it to know when Christmas Eve begins where you live. Santa trackers have their own schedules, so open the tracker you want on Christmas Eve for its current status.
Where to follow Santa on Christmas Eve
- NORAD Tracks Santa publishes its own holiday tracking experience.
- Google Santa Tracker has seasonal activities and its own tracker.
Two different countdowns for Christmas Eve
If your family checks the tracker after dinner, use the timer above to count the days to December 24. On Christmas Eve, check sleeps until Christmas for the last bedtime before Christmas Day, or play a Christmas date game while you wait.
