Significance of Sweetest Day 2025
Sweetest Day 2025 is a holiday celebrated in some parts of the United States. It is a day of romantic deeds or expressions and is a day to remember the less fortunate. Sweetest Day 2025 has also been referred to as a "concocted promotion" created by the candy industry solely to increase sales of sweets and cards. Sweetest Day is observed on the third Saturday in October.History of Sweetest Day
The origin of Sweetest Day 2025 is disputed. A widely accepted theory is that the first Sweetest Day was on October 10, 1921 in Cleveland when a committee of 12 candy makers led by C.C. Hartzell, gathered together in 1921 and delivered 20,000 boxes of candies and chocolates to the less-privileged in the city, with assistance from film stars Theda Bara and Ann Pennington.A second theory is that in 1922, a candy-store owner in Cleveland named Herbert Birch Kingston wanted to remember people in the city who were underprivileged and less fortunate. He distributed candy and chocolates to many of the hospitals and orphanages in the area. Other theories propose that the holiday was created by greeting card companies in order to sell more candy and cards, but this theory is widely rejected based on evidence.
There were also several attempts to start a "Sweetest Day" in New York City, including a declaration of a Candy Day throughout the United States by candy manufacturers on October 8, 1922. In 1927, there was a decreed that the week beginning on October 10, 1927 would be known as Sweetest Week.
In 1940, another Sweetest Day was proclaimed on October 19. Sweetest Day is only celebrated in 11 states and parts of two states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia and areas of both New York and Pennsylvania west of the spine of the Appalachian Mountains.
