Celebrate National Chocolate Day on October 28

To many people, chocolate isn’t just a nice-to-have treat. It’s practically a food group! So-called chocoholics love their cocoa-rich candies and treats so much that they’ve turned chocolate-making into a multibillion-dollar industry worldwide.

National Chocolate Day on October 28 offers a chance to celebrate this sweet treat and ingredient. So, how do people celebrate National Chocolate Day? There are plenty of ways you can share the rich flavor of the day with everyone.

What and When Is National Chocolate Day?

National Chocolate Day offers a fun opportunity for your team to use promotional giveaways to get attention for your business. Whatever industry you’re in, you’ll be amazed at all the different promo items that can help you get the word out about your company on this sweet, sweet holiday.
