Days until Thanksgiving
until Thursday, November 26, 2026 — the fourth Thursday of November
Every remaining day, one dot — filled as they pass.

A moving target, computed correctly
Unlike Halloween or Christmas, Thanksgiving has no fixed date — it's a rule: the fourth Thursday of November. That's why it wanders between November 22 and 28, why Black Friday wanders with it, and why a countdown has to actually compute the calendar rather than memorize a date. This one does, with the same engine that draws our life-in-weeks grids.
Travel math: booking flights is cheapest 6+ weeks out — check the dot strip. The season's other countdowns run alongside: Valentine's Day · the New Year.
