Welcome to the National Day Calendar Celebration
Honoring the Sweetest Days with Hallie, Shirley & Friends
Every day has a story — and some are sweeter than others.
Thanks to the National Day Calendar, we’re reminded to pause, celebrate, and savor the little moments that become lifelong memories. From birthdays to best friends, favorite desserts to family traditions — these official national days give us a reason to slow down and rejoice in what matters most.
And this year, something magical is beginning…
Introducing The Golden Era: Hallie and Shirley
A Brand-New Storybook Series by Shirley Caesar & Carolyn Sanders
This year, the world is invited to join two joyful sisters — Hallie and Shirley — as they launch a celebration like no other. Through twelve beautifully crafted books, a growing animation series, and sweet-hearted stories inspired by See’s Candies, the Golden Era collection brings nostalgia, faith, friendship, and fun back to the heart of every family.
At the center of this love-filled legacy?
A growing bond with National Day Calendar and the joy of celebrating special moments — big and small.
Mark Your Sweet Calendar

Thank You, National Day Calendar
To the incredible National Day Calendar —
With hearts full of joy and gratitude, we extend our deepest thanks for creating something truly remarkable — a calendar that brings light to each day, honoring both the grand and the gentle, the famous and the quietly cherished.
Because of your vision and care, special moments like National Sisters Day (the first Sunday in August) and National Chocolate Day (October 28) have become more than dates on the page — they’ve become worldwide celebrations of love, laughter, and lasting connection.
For us — Hallie and Shirley, two spirited storybook sisters who adore each other and have a sweet spot for See’s Candies— your calendar has inspired an entire series of joyful stories. It has given us the chance to invite children and families into a world where every day holds meaning, and where every sister, friend, auntie, and neighbor finds a reason to smile.
Thanks to you, millions of people have discovered the beauty in pausing to reflect, to laugh, to honor, and to celebrate what matters most. You’ve not only spotlighted beloved traditions — you’ve reminded us all of the quiet joys, the everyday heroes, and the value of simply being together.
To Marlo Anderson and your wonderful team — thank you.
Thank you for seeing the meaning in each day.
