Sweetest Day
October 17 · Level 3 · #1600 of 2238
Sweetest Day is an informal American occasion for small acts of kindness and affection. Candy is a familiar way to let someone know they matter, and the day extends beyond romantic relationships to friends and other people we appreciate.
How it is celebrated: people give sweets, cards and sometimes flowers. Some also share treats with people who could use extra company or encouragement.
Despite appearing under a specific date in some calendars, Sweetest Day moves each year: it falls on the third Saturday in October.
