Food and drink are such a huge part of festivities around the world, representing food celebration days everywhere. It could be a birthday, anniversary, festival or occasion, food is so often at the heart of all celebrations. This got me thinking about celebrating different food and beverage dates through the year. And of course the national food holidays that mark each one of them.
Naturally, I had to compile a list of some of the food holidays and national days after this realisation. Especially for you so you can plan your food celebration days accordingly! I have also included days that we would mark by sharing food with others. Days such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, Diwali and Thanksgiving. Making and sharing food, after all, is what this website is all about! Please do let me know if there are any additional dates you would like me to include too. I am sure there are plenty more!
So here is a thorough and relevant list of food and drink holidays – food celebration days 2025 – for all your eating and drinking pleasure!
Enjoy! x
