Your guide to celebrating December 16 2024
Skip to all 4 daysDecember 16 is your excuse to dig out the game with the missing pieces and find out whether you still have a ruthless Hungry Hungry Hippos streak. Stupid Toy Day celebrates the ridiculous childhood playthings that were far too entertaining to throw away. Invite a few friends over, pull a favorite board game from storage and prepare to argue cheerfully about rules nobody has read in years.
A proper retro playdate needs sticky fingers. For National Chocolate Covered Anything Day, set out melted chocolate with a spread of favorite treats for dipping. Everyone can assemble a snack between rounds, and the wonderfully broad word “anything” means nobody needs to agree on the best dunking choice.
National Chocolate Covered Anything Day
Indulge in a chocolate fountain or fondue to dunk any treats you fancy or drizzle your favorite desserts in delicious sauce and syrup.
Once the chocolate is under control, keep the afternoon going with Candyland or a few rounds of Pac-Man or Pong. You could also rummage through an old toy box and see what turns up. A Tamagotchi, Stretch Armstrong or Furby can spark some lively memories even if it no longer works, bends or talks quite as intended.
If cabin fever wins, head to a playground and take a turn on the swings or merry-go-round. Then return for one final game and drizzle chocolate sauce over dessert. December 16 does not require sophisticated entertainment, just a willingness to press start, roll the dice and laugh when a forgotten toy makes its grand return.
