Find all my hand-picked Random Holidays here in the Archive! Don’t let life pass you by without adding some fun & creativity to your days. Create reasons to randomly celebrate every day.
You’ll find links to all the Random Holiday Post Archives below. But I also included links to all of the different websites that exclusively host random holidays. Feel free to use my resources, the links to the archives, or links to the websites I found. I’ll add additional holidays every year to my list.
Why Randomly Celebrate?
These Random Holiday Archives add such a fun way to spice up your regular day-to-day activities. It started for us when I found Ice Cream for Breakfast Day one Saturday Morning. Since then, my kids ask all the time what random holiday is on the calendar next. That’s why I created these archives & the Google calendar resource (see below).
I love how much joy these snippets of celebration bring to my family’s life. There’s a certain excitement in my kid’s eyes, when they get a chance to break out of the day-to-day schedule. Admittedly, I like it too. This is what I want to share with you. It’s brought a passion for living, something to look forward to and it’s been wonderful.
I hope you find the same when you incorporate random holidays into your calendar.
Not Sure How to Celebrate?
Here are some Ideas
Find a recipe for any of the food-related holidays and try some thing new! If you don’t want to cook or bake, store-bought items are fantastic treats. We love celebrating Oreo cookie day – the only thing I have to be sure of is that they don’t find the cookies before the day we plan to celebrate.
I use these random holidays to answer the question “what’s for dinner”. Whenever I tell my kids we are celebrating meatball day or waffle day, they seem to complain less. Because it’s a reason to celebrate.
Need Some Ideas for Creating Using Random Holidays as Your Inspiration?
That sounds fun. Here are some ways you can be creative!
- Letter the name of the holiday (want to learn to hand letter? Here’s where to start handlettering.)
- Write it in funky fonts (check out this post for ideas.)
- Take a picture (I heard selfies are a thing 😜).
- Doodle the holiday
- Paint a picture of the holiday or you celebrating the holiday.
- Write a blog post or journal entry.
- Create a planner spread.
- Create a color palette inspired by the holiday.
- What imaginary character or Disney Princess would most likely celebrate this holiday?
- What colors should we choose for this holiday?
- Make a favorite dish or create a new recipe in honor of the day.
- If the holiday had a mascot, what would it be?
- Don’t let my ideas limit you. Find something that inspires you, and create!
If you don’t create anything – spend the time with your family or friends! It’s all about creating a better, more fulfilling life. I believe these silly, random holidays help add a little smile to your face and a bit more laughter to your days. Choose to add joy to your life.

Random Holidays – Google Calendar
After celebrating different holidays for over a year, I decided to create a Google Calendar to see all the holidays I’d love to celebrate. It makes it easy to share creations, words, and ideas on social media and with friends and family. The best part about Google calendars is that you can toggle them on and off when you don’t want to see them.
If you click on the calendar item, it has a link to the source & relevant hashtags! I’m always evolving this calendar – and I will add calendar days or corrections all the time.
Tip: The calendar will show the current month, you can navigate to the month of your choice by using the arrows or dropdown.
If you want to add my calendar to your Google calendar:
- Go to your Google calendars and click the + next to other calendars
- Choose ‘add other calendars.’
- Then click Subscribe to Calendar
- After that, paste the text below in the “add calendar.”
- Toggle the schedule on and off when you want to access it – that’s what I do.

I won’t list all the random holidays, but just the ones that work with ChocolateMusings.com – so, of course, you’ll see a lot of food, art, creativity & some miscellaneous holidays are thrown in as well.
