May 13th brings a delightful reason to celebrate – National Fruit Cocktail Day! This cheerful holiday shines a light on the vibrant mix of fruits that brings a burst of flavour and nostalgia to our tables.

While the exact origin of National Fruit Cocktail Day remains fuzzy, some credit the rise of canned fruit cocktails in the early 20th century. Canned fruit offered a convenient way to enjoy a taste of summer throughout the year. Others point to the South, where fruit cocktails were traditionally heavier and served as appetisers. Regardless of its beginnings, National Fruit Cocktail Day offers a delightful opportunity for businesses to connect with their customers.
