November 25 National Days

November 25, 2025, is the 330th day of the year (331st in leap years), with 35 days remaining. Falling on a Tuesday in the 48th week, the date brings together observances focused on ending violence, supporting sustainable natural materials, and celebrating creative expression through food, crafts, and culture.

Below is a list of 8 national and international days celebrated on November 25, each with a brief explanation.

National & International Days on November 25

Blasé Day encourages people to step back from constant stimulation and acknowledge moments when life feels flat or ordinary. Created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays in the late 1980s, the observance frames indifference as a normal part of emotional balance rather than something to push away. Instead of chasing excitement, the day invites a pause, a bit of emotional neutrality, and a reminder that not every moment needs a reaction.

Gazpacho Soup Day comes from a well-known scene in the British sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, where Arnold Rimmer sends back his gazpacho because he assumes it was served cold by mistake, only to learn later that it is meant to be cold—an embarrassment that follows him for years. Fans adopted the moment as a fun observance dedicated to the soup. Another related celebration, National Gazpacho Day on December 6, explores the dish and its culinary background.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women highlights the reality that many women and girls still face physical, sexual, and psychological violence in their homes, communities, and workplaces. The United Nations chose November 25 to honor the Mirabal sisters, whose 1960 assassination in the Dominican Republic became a symbol of resistance to gender-based oppression. The day opens the annual 16 Days of Activism campaign, which urges people, institutions, and governments to strengthen prevention, improve support for survivors, and confront the social and legal conditions that allow this violence to persist.

National Natural Fibers Day, founded in 2022 by the Natural Fibers Alliance, draws attention to the value of renewable materials such as cotton, wool, hemp, linen, and alpaca. The observance explains how natural fibers support regional economies, reduce reliance on synthetics, and offer durable, breathable options for clothing and home goods. It also encourages people to learn where these materials come from and to recognize the farmers, ranchers, and makers who keep traditional fiber production alive.

National Parfait Day draws attention to a delicious layered dessert that blends texture, color, and flavor in one glass. Parfaits can be built with yogurt, custard, or ice cream and finished with fruit, granola, nuts, or seasonal additions, making them easy to adapt to different diets and routines.

National Play Day with Dad, founded in 2019 by the Share Our Style Foundation, encourages fathers to set aside time for hands-on, uninterrupted play with their children. The observance focuses on connection through shared activities—games, outdoor adventures, building projects, or anything that sparks curiosity and conversation—because active play supports communication, emotional development, and trust in everyday family life.

Shopping Reminder Day encourages people to plan their holiday shopping with more intention. Happening just before the busiest retail weeks of the year, the day highlights the benefit of organizing gift lists early, taking advantage of seasonal sales, and avoiding the stress that builds as December approaches.

White Ribbon Day* (Date might slightly vary by country), founded in Canada in 1991, is a global campaign that encourages men and boys to take an active stand against violence toward women and girls. The white ribbon represents a commitment to speak up, challenge harmful behavior, and support safer, more respectful relationships. Now active in more than 60 countries, the movement focuses on education, community engagement, and promoting gender equity through everyday actions that strengthen trust and safety.
