Countdown details for Hanukkah
Festival of Lights! Count down the days until eight nights of celebration.
Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is a time of joy, family, and tradition. Track the countdown to the first night with a beautiful widget on your iPhone. Plan your menorah lighting, latke making, and gift giving.
There are 201 days until Hanukkah 2026, which falls on Friday, December 4, 2026. That is 28 weeks and 5 days away, or roughly 6 months. Hanukkah is a widely observed holiday, marked by family gatherings and traditions that have been handed down over generations. Because Hanukkah falls on a Friday, it joins the Saturday and Sunday that follow to create a natural three-day weekend.
Counting down turns a vague "soon" into a clear number of days you can plan around — booking travel, sending cards, or simply building anticipation. Many people begin preparing for a date like this two to three months ahead, and a visible countdown helps pace that preparation rather than leaving everything to the final week. If you are counting down to Hanukkah, you can add a free Outside countdown widget to your iPhone home screen; it updates every day and can be shared with friends and family.
