Christmas Countdown : XmasTick

Days, hours and sleeps until Christmas 2026 — with widgets, an advent calendar, four games and carols.

How many days until Christmas? XmasTick answers it at a glance — days, hours, minutes and seconds to Christmas 2026, on a scene you choose, with the count on your home screen so you never have to open anything.

THE COUNTDOWN • Days, hours, minutes and seconds to Christmas Day • Or count the sleeps, which is how children ask • Switch the target to Christmas Eve if that is when your family celebrates • Thirteen hand-drawn scenes: a moonlit village, a fireplace, the sleigh crossing the moon, a snowy morning and more • Choose the typeface, the countdown style and the panel it sits in • Falling snow, hanging lights and drifting decorations, all optional

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Four sizes, updating on their own. See the countdown without unlocking your phone.

AN ADVENT CALENDAR Twenty-five doors, one for each morning of December. Each opens on its own day, the way an advent calendar should.

FOUR GAMES FOR THE WAIT Bauble Drop, Advent Match, Present Stack and Sleigh Ride.

CHRISTMAS MUSIC Carols and seasonal tracks you can play while the countdown runs.

DECORATE A TREE Place baubles, lights and ornaments on your own Christmas tree and keep it all season.

ELEVEN LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese.

QUIETLY BUILT No account. No advertising. No analytics. No tracking of any kind. Nothing you set up ever leaves your device — which is why the privacy policy is one page and says so plainly.

Built for iPhone and iPad alike: the tablet gets its own layout with navigation always on screen, rather than a phone screen stretched to fit.
