Summary
As we toast goodbye to 2024, many of us are looking forward to celebrating a New Year. These days, it can seem like there’s a holiday for everything. Indeed, the marketing gurus behind some of your favorite brands have created holidays like World Nutella Day (February 5), while fandoms have caused many new holidays to pop up, like one of our personal favorites, International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19).
