What's New in Christmas Countdown

2026.03

September 3, 2026

Four new characters have joined the countdown: the Elf, the Penguin, the Nutcracker, and the Christmas Tree. Swipe through the backgrounds to meet them. Apple Watch: turning the Digital Crown to change snowflake colours is smoother and responds to slow turns. The watch app also uses less battery while it's on screen.

This is a fun app, I torment my family by sending them weekly countdowns.

I love all the cute characters.

I’ve had Christmas countdowns in the past, but nothing as good as this app.
