How many days until thanksgiving?

In the United States, Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, so its date moves each year. The countdown above works out the correct date automatically and rolls over once it passes.

The headline shows the whole days remaining and the timer ticks down hours, minutes and seconds to the holiday.

How the date is worked out

US Thanksgiving is not a fixed date — it is defined as the fourth Thursday in November, which can fall anywhere from November 22 to November 28. This tool calculates that Thursday for the upcoming year rather than relying on a stored date, so it stays correct every year. Canadian Thanksgiving is different again (the second Monday of October) and is not what this page counts down to.
