Holidays 2026–2027

This page tracks the days until each holiday across the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. Every date has a live countdown that ticks down by the second, so you always know how long is left to plan, shop or travel. Click any holiday to open its own full countdown page.

How the countdown is worked out

Each countdown measures the time from right now to the start of the holiday in your local time. Some holidays fall on the same date every year, like Christmas on 25 December. Others move around, like Easter or Thanksgiving, and the countdown follows the correct date for the coming year.

Tip: Want a countdown for something not on this list, like a birthday or a trip? Use the Set Timer page to count down to any date you choose.

Plan ahead with a countdown

• See at a glance how many weekends are left before a big date.
• Time your shopping and shipping so gifts arrive early.
• Pair a holiday with a timer for cooking on the day itself.
• Travelling for the holiday? Check the local time where you are headed.

How is “days until” calculated?

It counts the time from this moment to the start of the holiday in your local time zone, then shows it as whole days. The number updates on its own as time passes.

Do the countdowns update to next year automatically?

Yes. Once a holiday passes, its countdown rolls forward to the next time the holiday occurs, so the page always looks ahead.

Can I count down to a holiday not listed here?

Yes. Open the Set Timer page, choose count down to a date and time, and pick any date you like.
