Christmas split-flap countdown template

Two-tone white cards with fir green digits, on a light gray background that brings snow to mind. Every second the top flap folds down in a 120-millisecond frame and shows the new digit, like a station departures board. That movement catches the eye without any red.

Christmas split-flap countdown GIF: two-tone white cards with fir green digits on a snow gray background, showing days, hours, minutes and seconds

It's Christmas for brands with a light, restrained look, such as jewelers, watch shops or bookstores. Their December emails tend to be white and photo-heavy, and this timer fits that background while adding the rhythm a photo doesn't have.

It counts days, hours, minutes and seconds to your last shipping day. The loop lasts 15 seconds instead of the 30 of the classic styles, and every open generates a fresh GIF with the real time left. When it reaches zero it shows "Holiday shipping has ended".

With the Pro plan you can also set a different link for when the countdown ends. Before the cutoff the click goes to your store; after it, to your gift cards, if you sell them, since they don't depend on a carrier and still arrive in time for the 25th.

Split-flap is a Pro style. You can try it free in the generator's preview, but to create the timer and use it in an email you need the Pro plan. Paste it into an HTML block in Klaviyo, HubSpot's HTML module or a Code block in Mailchimp.
