National Toast Day is observed worldwide on February 26. This food holiday originated in the United Kingdom and was launched in 2014 by the Tiptree World Bread Awards to celebrate the British love of toast and raise money for charity. The inaugural celebration took place on February 24, 2015, benefiting Kids Company, a charity that provided support to children in need. Toast, which is sliced bread browned through various methods, can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings, including butter, jam, and peanut butter. Creative ways to celebrate include trying new toppings, hosting toast-themed parties, or posting photos of toast on social media with the hashtags #NationalToastDay and #ToastDay. National Toast Day has gained popularity in the United States as well, continuing to promote enjoyment of this simple yet beloved food.
