📝 About Pepero Day 2026
Pepero Day is a fun, unofficial holiday celebrated on November 11 in South Korea, when people exchange Pepero, thin cookie sticks dipped in chocolate, with friends, coworkers, and romantic partners. The date 11/11 was chosen because the four ones resemble the shape of the slender snack sticks. The holiday originated in the 1990s among schoolgirls in Busan who exchanged the treats while wishing each other would become tall and slim, and it has since grown into a major commercial event. Lotte, the maker of Pepero, reportedly earns roughly half its annual Pepero revenue during the days surrounding November 11, and stores create elaborate Pepero gift sets and displays for the occasion.
