New Year is a celebration of magic and miracles. This is also why Russians are so looking forward to this day. Another reason is planning: there is a lot to do before the holiday. And during the New Year holidays, you can have a good rest. About how many days are left before the main holiday — in the material of Izvestia.

How many days are left until the New Year

If the expectation of the New Year is only gaining momentum in the first half of December, then closer to the holiday, many are already starting a daily countdown, tying plans to specific dates. This calendar approach helps to distribute the preparation: plan vacations, shopping, and meetings with loved ones in advance.

If we take January 1, 2026 as the starting point, then it remains until the New Year.:

  • December 23rd — 9 days

  • December 24 — 8 days

  • December 25 — 7 days

  • December 26 — 6 days

  • December 27 — 5 days

  • December 28 — 4 days

  • December 29 — 3 days

  • December 30 — 2 days

  • December 31 — 1 day

During this period, people most often adjust their plans: they clarify the guest list, menu, and holiday budget. Counting down the days of December helps to set priorities more consciously and not leave all tasks for the last day.

Why do people count the days until the New Year

The countdown to the New Year has long turned into a mass ritual that supports a sense of celebration and renewal. Psychologists note that the anticipation of a celebration triggers the production of endorphins, which is why waiting sometimes brings no less pleasure than the holiday itself.

In addition, the days before the New Year are traditionally associated with summing up, planning for the future and family meetings, and the counter on the calendar helps to structure these internal processes. At the same time, experts warn that excessive stress due to commitments, gifts and the "perfect holiday" can increase anxiety and cause emotional burnout.
