Celebrations shouldn’t only be for big holidays. Why not celebrate with fun food, crafts or other ideas each day. My list of 100 fun foods for 2022 should help you get started!
National Holiday Calendar Fun
Celebrate traditional holidays and every day in between. From National Pomegranate Month to National Mutt day, you can honor just about anything. There is always something weird, random or wacky to celebrate.
For example why not celebrate World Emoji Day by making emoji oranges or Zootopia Donuts for National Zoo Day. The list generally includes easy snack and dessert ideas because classic dinner recipes aren’t usually as fun as cupcakes or baked cookies.
The ideas are listed by month and include the holiday or random National Day they would fit. Take a quick glance at the current month and see what fun food ideas you can make with your kids.
