How the countdowns work
Every holiday on this list falls on the same calendar date each year, so the next date is simply the upcoming one: once Christmas is over, the Christmas page starts counting toward next December 25 on its own.
The live clock runs on your device and counts to midnight at the start of the holiday in your own time zone. Someone in Sydney and someone in Los Angeles will see different numbers on the same page, and both are right. The day count in the page text is refreshed every hour.
For US federal holidays (New Year's Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Veterans Day and Christmas), the date tables also show the day federal workers actually get off when the holiday lands on a weekend.
Need a different date?
Birthdays, weddings, exams, a trip: use the countdown to any date tool and pick the day yourself. For a simple count of days between two dates, try the date calculator.
