Animal crackers are like a bag of edible toys – where you can play with your food and actually get away with it. ๐ช๐บ
Animal crackers are a unique type of cookie, perfect for those who want to enjoy the taste of animals without actually eating them. Thatโs right, animal crackers are vegetarian!
So why not celebrate them with their very own holiday?
Welcome to Animal Crackers Day, celebrated every year on April 18th.

Why celebrate Animal Crackers?
If an animal cracker were a character, it would be the class clown. Itโs cute and innocent, but also a little mischievous. You never know what youโre going to get when you bite into one of these little guys, and thatโs part of the fun.
Animal crackers are different from regular cookies in that they are small, portable, and come in a variety of animal shapes. These tiny works of art are shaped like adorable little animals that you can eat! You can finally fulfill your dream of eating an entire zoo, minus the guilt of animal cruelty!
Animal crackers are not just for kids.Adults can enjoy them too, especially with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

The Origin of Animal Crackers Day
The origins of Animal Crackers Day are unknown, but we can make up a ridiculous story about it.
Legend has it that a group of animals once broke into a bakery and devoured all the cookies. They were caught on camera and their photos went viral. And thus, Animal Crackers Day was born. Or maybe this holiday was a commercial ploy to sell more animal crackers, but that would be a boring origin story.

Now that weโve established the importance of this holiday, letโs talk about how to celebrate it.
You could keep it low-key by simply enjoying some animal crackers with a cup of tea or coffee. Create your own zoo with your favorite animal crackers. Make up little scenes by posing them with funny props.
Or, you could throw a full-blown animal-themed party with animal crackers as the star of the show. You can create a fun and festive animal-themed snack table using inexpensive decorations and animal crackers as the centerpiece. To make it even more fun, invite your friends to bring their favorite animal-themed snacks to share.
