How the Thanksgiving date is calculated
In the United States, Thanksgiving is fixed by federal law as the fourth Thursday in November. Because weekdays shift each year, the exact date moves between November 22 and November 28 — this tool works it out for the current and following years automatically, so you never need to look it up again.
In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October, several weeks earlier to match the earlier harvest season. Switch the region above and the countdown recalculates instantly.
The timer counts down to midnight at the start of Thanksgiving Day in your device's local time zone, ticking live every second. Planning a budget for the holiday too? Our loan calculator and mortgage calculator can help you spread seasonal costs across the year.
