November holidays, Observances 2022: Daily, Weekly, Monthly

Once November rolls around, all the holiday planning (and everything that comes with the Thanksgiving holiday) tends to take center stage during the month. That being said, before much of the frenzy begins, as a nation we remember and celebrate Veterans Day to honor veterans. And of course, after Thanksgiving, many like to celebrate Black Friday with a day of shopping for all the deals. However, did you know that on any day in November, there are more than triple that number of festive observances to think about? We have a huge list of all Holidays and celebrations in November in 2022!
Some of these other holidays honor a profession or a group of people. For example, All Saints Day is celebrated to honor all saints in the church. Other celebrations are meant to raise awareness of the disease, such as Diabetic Eye Disease Month. And many others are more quirky and random like National Mason Jar Day or National Cook Day for your pets.
Apart from the daily celebrations, there are also celebrations that are celebrated either for a full week or for a whole month. For example, National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week takes place the entire week before Thanksgiving, the perfect time to help us step back and give back.
Since there are so many special days to consider for the month of November, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of November holidays and celebrations for 2022 so you can be in the know. Maybe you want to celebrate a few that you didn’t know about before.
Who proposes national days and celebrations?
Although some holidays have historical significance, there are so many random national days every year that you have to wonder who comes up with them and who is ultimately responsible for the list? If you like waffles and peanut butter, can you just call it a national holiday?
It’s actually almost as simple as that! A company or a person can declare a day and it can take off on social networks. However, if someone wants their idea listed on Chase’s annual calendar of events, it must be approved by Chase. They are looking for things that will interest almost anyone and only accept a small number of days from the thousands of submissions.
Some of the national days in November may excite you, such as National Donut Day or National Candy Day. These are easy to celebrate. The other two, like National Clean Your Fridge Day, can pass without a second thought. Whoever invented this one must have needed an encore to make it big!
