NATIONAL FRUITCAKE TOSS DAY

Posted on January 3, 2020Updated on January 3, 2021by JensperspectiveblogCategories:children, Christmas, competition, contest, family, family traditions, food, friends, fun, games, Holiday

On January 3rd, National Fruitcake Toss Day challenges us to chuck the fruitcake as far as you can. (Occasionally, this fun holiday is listed as occurring on the first Saturday in December.)

Many people receive fruitcakes as gifts sometime during the holiday season. Some people eat this holiday bread while others may re-gift them. There are those who sneakily throw them away and others who will do so openly. 

But on the third day of January, another type of fruitcake, ahem, person comes out of the woodwork. These are the characters who have hoarded them, stored them and hid them so they can celebrate with a competition of sorts.

HOW TO OBSERVE #FruitcakeTossDay

Host a fruitcake tossing competition. Invite family to join you outside with their respective fruitcakes (the ones made with flour, fruit and nuts) and take turns chucking them as far as they can. Make hot cocoa and prizes. Share your celebration using #FruitcakeTossDay to post on social media.

NATIONAL FRUITCAKE TOSS DAY HISTORY

The first Great Fruitcake Toss was held in Manitou Springs, Colorado on January 3, 1996. Each year the entrants compete to see who can hurl or toss their fruitcakes the farthest.

Dont forget the Drinking straw was invented today and Chocolate Covered Cherries.
