How many days until Christmas?
There are 53 days until Christmas. Christmas Day is Friday, December 25, 2026.
Wondering how long it is until Christmas? The countdown at the top shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds until Christmas Day, December 25, in your own time zone.
How to use it
- The Christmas tree – tap for fullscreen (or press F).
- The snowman – tap to show or hide Santa.
- The word “Christmas” – tap to change colour: green, red or brown.
Made for your TV
- The screen stays awake while the page is open.
- The cursor hides when you are not using it.
- Evening mode – in the evening the sky darkens and the stars come out.
- Works offline – once you have opened the page, the countdown keeps going even if the internet drops out.
Add it as an app
The countdown then sits on your home screen or among your apps, and opens full screen without the address bar.

- PC and Mac – in Chrome or Edge, click the install icon on the right of the address bar.
Settings in the address
Want the TV to start the same way every time? Add settings to the address, for example
nedtellingtiljul.no/en/?theme=red&sleigh=off.
theme=green,theme=redortheme=brown– colour theme.sleigh=off– hide Santa.lantern=30– how many seconds the snow lantern stays lit before the snowman jumps on it (four minutes by default).
What happens in December
- The tree is an Advent calendar – a new bauble appears every day.
- The snow settles – the snowdrift grows as Christmas gets closer.
- Santa does tricks – now and then Rudolph flashes his nose, or a present falls off the sleigh.
When Christmas arrives
What happens when the countdown reaches zero? That’s a secret. Keep an eye on the screen – Santa has something special planned.
