Christmas Eve Countdown Timer

Christmas Eve is December 24, the day before Christmas. Many people use the evening for gatherings, services or family traditions; this timer marks the start of the date.

For some families, Christmas Eve is the main time to exchange greetings or share a meal; for others, it is a quieter lead-in to Christmas Day. Customs and event times vary. This countdown ends as December 24 begins in your time zone, rather than at the start of the evening.
