Throughout the year there are reasons to celebrate just about every day, week and month. Some of the best-loved observances center around tasty treats and almost every food and beverage category known to mankind. Get your sweet tooth ready - and creative ideas for your business marketing perhaps! - because here is a list of special occasions honoring chocolate.
Please note that the dates included here mainly focus on chocolate in it's purest form, that of milk, dark, etc., in solid form, and I'm going to be adding another list here for daily observances of chocolate-filled confections as well.
The U.S. National Confectioners Association lists four primary chocolate holidays on their calendar; (Chocolate Day, July 7th), two National Chocolate Days (October 28th and December 28th), and International Chocolate Day (September 13th), in addition to variants such as National Milk Chocolate Day, National White Chocolate Day, and National Cocoa Day.
