Countdown Formula
Countdown is calculated from time difference:
Days = floor(Time / (24 × 60 × 60 × 1000))
Hours = floor((Time % Day) / (60 × 60 × 1000))
Minutes = floor((Time % Hour) / (60 × 1000))
Seconds = floor((Time % Minute) / 1000)
Example: 10 days, 5 hours, 30 minutes, 15 seconds until Christmas. The countdown updates every second for real-time accuracy. All calculations use milliseconds for precision.

The countdown calculates the time difference between now and your target date (or next Christmas if no date is specified). It updates in real-time, showing days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining. The countdown automatically handles year transitions.
Can I countdown to any date?
Yes! Enter any future date in the date picker, and the countdown will calculate time remaining until that date. Leave it empty to automatically countdown to the next Christmas (December 25th).
