What a Christmas clock widget shows

A digital clock is the widget most people place first. It needs to be readable from arm's length, so the time takes most of the space and the date sits quietly below it.

It uses the phone's own time, so it needs no permission and works offline. WidgetCraft's clock layer follows your 12- or 24-hour setting unless you choose a format.

How the Christmas style shapes it

Christmas widgets use pine green, berry red, cream and a little gold. A countdown to 25 December is the classic, joined by a festive clock and a gift list.
