About National Pumpkin Pie Day

When is National Pumpkin Pie Day? This holiday is always observed on December 25

This December 25 holiday is a very, very special day. It’s National Pumpkin Pie Day. It celebrates one of America’s favorite pies. Pumpkin pie is steeped in holiday tradition. The peak consumption period for pumpkin pie begins at the fall harvest and lasts through to the Christmas meal and dessert.

One might wonder why celebrate this holiday on Christmas Day. If any holiday can steal a little attention from Christmas, it is National Pumpkin Pie Day. Unfortunately, we have yet to find the creator of this day. So, the timing remains a mystery. However, we are thankful for this special recognition, and will certainly have a little pumpkin pie with our whipped cream today. 

Did you know? There are at least two Christmas songs that sing the tradition of eating pumpkin pie for the holidays. Those songs are :

  • Home for the Holidays 
  • Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

History and Origin of National Pumpkin Pie Day

Our extensive search has yet to discover any factual content on this very special day. And we are astounded that anyone would declare a holiday on Christmas Day. You would think it would not get any attention competing with Christmas for your attention. The folks at PumpkinNook.com believe that National Pie Day should be every day of the year.  

There was some reference to this as a “National Day”.  We found no congressional records or presidential proclamation.

Definition of “National” Days – and why it is so important to distinguish true National days.
