Embed Widget FAQ
Is the Christmas Countdown widget free to embed?+
Yes — the live Christmas Countdown widget is 100% free to embed on any website, blog, school page, or newsletter. No sign-up, API key, or payment is required. Just copy the iframe snippet from this page and paste it into your HTML.
How do I add the countdown to my website?+
Copy the iframe embed code above and paste it into your page's HTML where you want the countdown to appear. The widget loads your selected theme and ticks live in the visitor's local time zone, showing days, hours, minutes and seconds until December 25.
Can I customize the widget colors?+
Yes. Add a ?theme= query string to the iframe src to switch styles: ?theme=dark (Evergreen), ?theme=snow (Snow Night), ?theme=red (Crimson), ?theme=gold (Golden), or ?theme=light (Daylight). The live preview on this page lets you try each one before copying.
Will the countdown update automatically?+
Yes. The widget recalculates the time remaining every second using each visitor's local clock, so it is always accurate to the second and never needs updating by hand — even across years and time zones.
Do I need to link back to Christmas Countdown?+
The embed snippet includes a small 'Powered by' link. Keeping the link is appreciated and helps others discover the countdown, but you are free to adjust the wording or move it. A visible link is the easiest way to support the project.
