Apple Cider Day is observed worldwide every November 18, celebrating the enjoyment of apple cider, a non-alcoholic beverage made from unfiltered and unsweetened apple juice. The day is marked by relaxing with a mug of hot apple cider, often spiced with mulling spices and served warm, especially during the fall and winter months. It is a time to enjoy cider doughnuts, which are made using apple cider as a leavening agent and are typically spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. While the origins of Apple Cider Day are unclear, it encourages people to visit local apple orchards and cider mills to experience fresh cider and doughnuts. For those without access to local farms, store-bought cider is a suitable alternative. The holiday should not be confused with World Cider Day, which celebrates the alcoholic version of cider on June 3.
