Options explained
- Public holidays
- Nationwide public holidays (federal holidays in the US, bank holidays in the UK). Holidays set by a single state or province are not included. When a holiday falls on a weekend and the day off moves, the countdown card says which day it moves to.
- Other days
- Celebrations without a day off, such as Valentine's Day, Easter Sunday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Black Friday (US), Pancake Day and Bonfire Night (UK).
- Days left
- Counted in calendar days, not including today. The live countdown runs to midnight at the start of the holiday in your own time zone.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Mother's Day on a different date in the UK?
The UK and Ireland celebrate Mothering Sunday three weeks before Easter, so it moves every year. The US, Canada and Australia use the second Sunday in May.
Are state holidays included?
No. Only holidays that apply to the whole country are listed. Australia's King's Birthday is shown with the date used by most states.
Does it work offline?
