How many days until the New Year: Izvestia counter
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.
