November 29 National Days

November 29, 2025, is the 334th day of the year, with 31 days remaining until the end of the year. Falling on a Saturday in the 48th week, the date brings together food-themed celebrations like National Lemon Cream Pie Day and major annual events such as Small Business Saturday, alongside several cultural and awareness observances.

Below is a list of all 7 national and international days marked on November 29, each with a brief explanation.

National & International Days on November 29

Electronic Greetings Day reflects how digital messages reshaped everyday connection. In 1994, Judith Donath introduced The Electric Postcard at the MIT Media Lab, an early e-card system that showed how the internet could support new forms of personal outreach. The observance encourages people to make use of these tools by sending a greeting, sharing an update, or reaching out to someone they have not spoken to in a while.

International Jaguar Day was established in 2018 at the United Nations Headquarters after the Jaguar 2030 Forum, an initiative led by Latin American governments, UNDP, WWF, and Panthera. The observance draws attention to the jaguar’s declining population, the loss and fragmentation of its habitat, poaching and illegal trade, and conflict with expanding human activity. It also explains why the species matters far beyond its own survival: as the largest wild cat in the Americas, it serves as an umbrella species whose protection supports entire ecosystems across its range from Mexico to Argentina. The day also acknowledges the jaguar’s cultural significance in many Indigenous traditions throughout Central and South America.

National Chocolates Day recognizes how much people enjoy chocolate and how this enthusiasm led to almost 80 chocolate-related food observances throughout the year. The day offers an extra chance to enjoy a piece of chocolate, share some with colleagues or friends, or learn how cacao is grown, harvested, and processed into the chocolate products people know today.

National Lemon Cream Pie Day celebrates a dessert loved for its bright lemon flavor and smooth, creamy filling. The observance highlights how lemon pies developed in American cooking, tracing their roots from early 19th-century lemon custards, influenced by bakers such as Elizabeth Goodfellow, to the cream-style and meringue versions that became common by the late 1800s.

National Square Dancing Day recognizes a uniquely American social dance shaped from older European forms. Four couples stand in a square and follow a caller who directs every move, turning the dance into a coordinated group activity. Its emphasis on rhythm, teamwork, and shared movement has helped square dancing become the official state dance in 19 states.

Small Business Saturday* (Saturday after Thanksgiving) was founded in 2010 by American Express. This observance encourages people to shop locally and support small, independent businesses. Every purchase at a neighborhood store, café, or market helps strengthen the local economy, create jobs, and keep communities vibrant during the holiday season.

Throw Out Your Leftovers Day encourages people to check their refrigerators and discard food that is no longer safe to eat. Its timing, just after Thanksgiving, comes at a good time to sort through holiday leftovers and make space for fresh meals, echoing the purpose of Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day earlier in the month.
