Text not appearing when I use javascript FillText method

So, I’m trying to make a new year’s countdown timer so I can keep track of the time until it’s New Year’s. But now, one of the pieces of text isn’t blitting onto the screen. It’s the piece that is supposed to tell how much more time until New Year’s. Here’s my code so far:

text = countDown + "";
ctx.fillText(text, 450, 285);
