About this tool
How many days until Christmas? And until the New Year, Carnival or your holidays? Pick a date from the list or type your own event with a date and time, and the countdown updates every second: days, hours, minutes and seconds, plus the weeks, total hours and weekends left. Carnival and Easter change every year, so they are calculated from the Easter date; Mother's and Father's Day follow the Brazilian calendar. Copy the link to share the same countdown in a group chat or on social media - whoever opens it sees the time left in their own time zone.
How to use it
- 1 Choose a date from the list, or 'Other date' to type an event, a date and a time.
- 2 Watch the countdown update every second.
- 3 Copy the link to share the countdown with friends.
Frequently asked questions
How is the Carnival date calculated?
Carnival Tuesday is 47 days before Easter Sunday, which changes every year according to the moon. The tool calculates Easter for the year and counts back.
Does the countdown use my time zone?
Yes. The dates start at midnight in the time zone of the device that opens the page, so each person sees the time left where they are.
Can I create a countdown to my birthday or wedding?
Yes. Choose 'Other date', type the name of the event, the date and the time, then copy the link to share it.
What happens when the date arrives?
For the dates in the list, the countdown moves on to the next year after the day has passed. For your own date, the page shows that the date has passed.
