Christmas Tree Countdown

Decorate your own Christmas tree! Hang your favorite photos, pile on the lights and count down to Christmas on your Home Screen.

Christmas Countdown 2026

Decorate your own Christmas tree and count down the days to Christmas 2026. Hang your favorite photos, add ornaments, tinsel and twinkling lights, then put your tree on your Home Screen or Mac desktop.

MAKE IT YOURS Choose a lifelike spruce, fir, snowy or Nordmann tree, or a drawn one in green, white, pink or any color you like. Hang ornaments, candy canes, bows and emoji wherever you like, and drape shimmering gold, silver or red tinsel across the branches. Turn photos of your family, friends and pets into decorations. Draw strings of lights across the branches and choose how they glow, fade or twinkle. Keep several trees and switch between them whenever you want a change.

CHRISTMAS AT A GLANCE • iPhone and iPad: your decorated tree in Home Screen widgets, with the countdown on your Lock Screen. • Mac: a floating desktop tree, desktop widgets and a countdown in your menu bar. • Apple Watch: see your tree in the watch app and the days left on a compatible watch face.

COUNT DOWN TO YOUR CHRISTMAS Choose December 24 or 25, December 5 or 6, or January 6 or 7. The app picks a starting date for your region; you can change it in Settings. On iPhone and iPad, watch the countdown tick down to the second under your tree, add falling snow, and stand your tree on a festive gradient or one of your own photos.
