POD inspiration: January national holidays

Even though peak holiday season usually occurs during the Winter season (think Christmas Day, Boxing Day and the January national holidays of New Year’s Day and Scotland’s Burns Night), every day is a holiday. From National Hangover Day (January 1) to National Champagne Day (December 31), there is literally something to celebrate every single day of the year.
Although not all of these events are globally recognized, many of them target a specific niche that could potentially be a profitable niche for some audiences. But when it comes to celebrating certain holidays worldwide, most of the general public are familiar with seasonal holidays and events like New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day etc. Here are a few January national holidays and observances that are on the horizon:
