Thanksgiving Countdown — Days Until Thanksgiving

Introduction

How many days until the turkey? Trencada's free Thanksgiving Countdown ticks live toward US Thanksgiving — the fourth Thursday of November — showing days, hours, minutes, and seconds updating every second. The date is computed automatically each year (and rolls over to next year once the holiday passes), so the countdown is always right. Everything runs entirely in your browser with no signup and no downloads.

How to Use

1. Open the page — the countdown starts ticking immediately toward the next US Thanksgiving at midnight.
2. Watch the live days, hours, minutes, and seconds update every second.
3. The target date line shows the exact upcoming Thanksgiving (e.g. Thursday, November 26, 2026).
4. On Thanksgiving Day itself, the countdown switches to a Happy Thanksgiving message.
