Most of you are probably looking forward to spending time with your family and friends this Christmas and New Year. While waiting, you can’t really help but get busy with other things such as planning your holiday events and gift shopping. Speaking of which, one of the best ways to keep track of your upcoming events is to make use of countdown widgets.
- When you leave your computer, it’s best to start a screen saver that can only be turned off with a password. You should set up a screen saver that will start after your computer has been idle for a set interval (15 minutes or less). You can also lock your screen manually.

There is no way to display interactive elements on the lockscreen or wallpaper with a non jailbroken iPhone. I would recommend Countdown Widget it's free an you can display countdowns in the notification center which you can also access from your lockscreen.
If you’re using Android, you can also opt to place these event widgets on your home screen.
