What's New in Days Until Xmas

3.1

November 6, 2026

Days Until Xmas gets snowier for the last weeks before Christmas. - Snow now settles into a drift, and on top of the countdown - Roll snowballs out of the drift and stack them into a snowman - Feel the snow land, then shake your phone to send it all flying - Blow on the snow to swirl it, once you turn it on in Settings - The sky follows the time of day, with northern lights on some December nights - New: a snow globe on your Apple Watch, swirled with the Digital Crown - New: count down the last hours of Christmas Eve in the Dynamic Island - Works better with VoiceOver, larger text and Reduce Motion
