Daily Holidays - June 7

National Chocolate Ice Cream
 Day The exact origins of Chocolate Ice Cream Day are unknown, but few people will need a reason to celebrate an event that requires the eating of chocolate ice cream. Vanilla is considered the most popular flavor of ice cream, but ever since the Italians froze hot chocolate in 1692, chocolate has been a close contender. The celebratory day itself was likely started by an ice cream manufacturer to encourage greater sales of the delightful dessert, but the question remains whether there was really any need to encourage people to eat more chocolate ice cream.

Chocolate ice cream is made by combining cocoa powder with eggs, cream, vanilla, and sugar. The recipe is then frozen, and the more adventurous celebrant could consider making their own ice cream based dessert in order to celebrate Chocolate Ice Cream Day, or simply open the freezer and grab any tub that is close to hand. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/chocolate-ice-cream-day/

VCR Day In this digital age, how many people still own collections of VCR box sets of favourite TV shows, old favourites and movies that are unavailable or simply haven’t been purchased on DVD? VCR day is dedicated to the humble video, and celebrates the simple elegance of analogue recording and playback. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/vcr-day/

Cancers Survivor’s Day This day is an annual celebration of Life. This is to raise awareness of Cancer Survivors – In the U.S. alone there are over 11 million survivors, and to raise funds for Cancer Research Charities. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cancer-survivors-day/
