The number of days until Christmas can be displayed as a watch face complication. Changing the color of the countdown text from your mobile device will change the color of the text on the Apple Watch. • Select one of 8 holiday background musical soundtracks. Select one or automatically play all the songs in a repeating sequence. Select Airplay to play the music to your Apple TV. • Pick music from your own music library.

Christmas Countdown Pro Push's advantage is ratings volume (191 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
