How the Days Until Christmas Eve are Calculated

To calculate the number of days until Christmas Eve, find the difference in milliseconds between the holiday target date (December 24 at midnight) and the current local system date. Since Christmas Eve occurs annually, if December 24 of the current year has already passed, the calculation shifts to next year's December 24 date.

Target Date: December 24
Math: (Target Date Time − Current Time) in Milliseconds ÷ 1,000 ÷ 60 ÷ 60 ÷ 24 = Days Remaining
