When does this countdown end?

At midnight on December 25 in your device’s local time. On Christmas Day it displays a festive greeting; on December 26 it begins counting down to next Christmas.

Why is my friend’s countdown different?

Time zones and device clocks can differ. This timer follows your local clock. Wishes on a tree open according to the tree owner’s time zone, which may be different.

Is Snow Wish Tree free?

Yes. Creating a tree, sharing it and hanging wishes are all free.

When can I read my wishes?

On Dec 25. Until then every wish stays sealed: you can see who sent it, but not what it says.
