Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Christmas Countdown! at 90% against New Years Eve Countdown's 40%. Christmas Countdown! also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (71K vs 2). New Years Eve Countdown's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
