Introduction
2020 is now done and dusted, and it’s time to begin 2021 with a bang! After a festive period, we mustn’t forget that we’re still in the middle of a pandemic. Coronavirus still lingers and is sadly affecting people all over the world in various parts of every country. So let’s step into 2021 with caution and take life-saving measures for ourselves and everyone we love and treasure.
With 2021 coming along, most vaccine makers have announced that the COVID-19 vaccine will be available to the public this year, so things can go back to ‘normalcy’ (whatever that means!). Keeping in mind that you’ll have to plan your corporate holidays accordingly, let’s head to ‘Wisdom Town’ and take a gander at one of the best corporate holiday guides for the 2021 calendar.
In this guide, we at Zippy Opinion — one of the best paid survey sites out there — will be focusing on corporate holidays either from a festive or observance standpoint.
January
Martin Luther King Jr. Day (officially Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., and sometimes referred to as MLK Day) is a federal holiday in the United States marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year. King’s birthday is January 15. The holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. The earliest Monday for this holiday is January 15 and the latest is January 21.
With reference to this, Black Lives Matter is a strong campaign that seeks to dismantle racism at its roots. Companies and businesses must align with this movement for the greater good.
King was the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King’s honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed three years later. At first, some states resisted observing the holiday as such, giving it alternative names or combining it with other holidays. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000.
February
Love is in the air, and Valentine’s Day has become more of a commercial day of celebration. According to martyrdom legends, St. Valentine was a priest who healed his jailer’s daughter of her blindness. He wrote her a final note which signed off with the words, “Your Valentine.”
Valentine’s Day offers a great deal of exposure for businesses. Make your customers feel loved — this should be your #1 mantra on this holiday in February.
Presidents’ Day is a public holiday in many U.S. states. Regardless, many organizations remain open and many stores hold sales on Washington’s Birthday. Numerous delivery services, aside from the Post Office, operate as usual, and many (though not all) public transit systems run on regular schedules. Some schools close for the entire week for a mid-winter break. According to some government sources, Indiana observes Washington’s Birthday holiday in December.
March
Women’s History Month is a yearly declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. It is celebrated during March in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, corresponding with International Women’s Day on March 8, and during October in Canada, aligning with the celebration of Persons Day on October 18.
Saint Patrick’s Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a cultural and religious festival held on March 17, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
It was made an official Christian feast day in the mid-17th century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Lutheran Church.
The day celebrates the arrival of Christianity in Ireland and the Irish heritage overall. Festivities generally include parades, celebrations, and wearing green clothing or shamrocks. Christians of liturgical denominations also attend church services. Traditionally, Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day, which explains the holiday’s association with alcohol consumption.
April
Although Good Friday isn’t a widely celebrated holiday, it is observed as a national holiday for Christians. The most important events in Christianity are the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God.
Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. From a business standpoint, ensure that you observe this day as a remembrance not only for Christians but also for others who have sacrificed their lives for the greater good.
May
Even though Mother’s Day is celebrated on different dates in various countries, from an internationally observed standpoint, May 9 is considered Mother’s Day.
From giving birth to raising strong and independent individuals, mothers do it all. One day isn’t enough to appreciate their sacrifices — but it’s a start. Your brand can enhance this gratitude by creating publicly visible content in honor of mothers.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day (originally known as Decoration Day) originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.
It’s observed on the last Monday of May and honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2021 falls on Monday, May 31. Many Americans observe the day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings, and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of summer.
June
Father’s Day is a celebration to appreciate all the wonderful fathers out there. From teaching you how to ride a bike to life’s bigger lessons, this day gives you a chance to thank your dad.
As a brand, consider how you can communicate the importance of Father’s Day to your audience and show appreciation for these strong role models.
July
Independence Day is a federal holiday in the United States recognizing the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
It commemorates the colonies’ independence from British rule and is associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, concerts, and patriotic displays.
As a brand, express your pride and join in the celebration of American freedom and identity.
August
On August 21, National Senior Citizens Day recognizes the achievements of older generations. It offers an opportunity to show our appreciation for their contributions and experiences.
According to the 2017 census, 47 million seniors live in the United States — a number expected to double by 2060. As technology evolves, these individuals have witnessed and contributed to transformative changes. Let’s care for them — one day, we’ll be in their shoes.
September
International Labor Day, celebrated on May 1 in many countries, pays tribute to the contributions of workers across the globe.
Observed in countries such as Cuba, India, and China, it’s a reminder for companies to show appreciation for employees who add significant value.
October
Columbus Day commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492. Although celebrated since the 18th century, it became a federal holiday in 1937.
For many, it honors Columbus’ achievements and celebrates Italian-American heritage. However, Columbus Day has also sparked controversy, and alternatives such as Indigenous Peoples’ Day are now celebrated in several U.S. states.
November
Veterans Day is observed every year on November 11 in the United States to honor veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during wartime and peacetime.
Thanksgiving, observed on the fourth Thursday of November, is rooted in the Pilgrims’ 1621 harvest meal. Today, it’s a time for Americans to gather, feast, play football, and express gratitude.
December
A time for family, gifting, and warm meals, Christmas is one of the biggest holidays, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Celebrate by traveling with loved ones, going home to family, or simply enjoying quality time together. Businesses should embrace the festive spirit by offering discounts, distributing printable calendars, and spreading cheer.
