National, International & World Chocolate Days 2025 / 2026

There's a national day for pretty much anything you can think of. In the life of a foodie, these events normally mean a Twitter feed full of mouthwatering photos. As a chocolate lover, I'm interested in the sweeter side of these celebrations. And I mistakenly thought there was just a couple of chocolatey themed events in the foodie calendar of national and international events. Boy was I wrong!

I made this list of key calendar dates for all chocoholics using data from a variety of sources. Whip out your diary and jot these down posthaste!

Be sure to check out my chocolate events listings too.
