🍩World Donut Day
A sweet US tradition honoring donuts and the Salvation Army's WWI legacy. A day that started in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army, honoring the volunteers who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. It's since become one of the most joyfully commercial food holidays in the calendar, with bakeries, coffee chains, and food brands going all out.
Create a stop-motion donut animation or use a donut countdown timer in your Stories! Share fun facts, donut recipes, or run a "favorite donut poll" on your socials! Food and drink brands can animate a limited-time offer reveal, — the draw-on style builds anticipation perfectly for a "free donut with every order" or daily special. Coffee shops and bakeries can create a fun countdown video in the run-up to the day: "Something sweet is coming Friday."
🔑Dia do Porteiro (Doorman's Day)
A day to recognize and thank Brazil's doormen and building concierges for their dedication and hard work. Professionals who keep residential and commercial buildings safe, welcoming, and running smoothly.In Brazil, where apartment living is the norm in major cities, the porteiro is a central figure in daily community life.
Interview a local porteiro and animate their story or create a "thank you" message that can be shared by residents! Property management companies, real estate brands, and Brazilian businesses can animate a warm staff appreciation video: "To every porteiro who opens the door with a smile every single day — obrigado." Condominium management platforms can use the same format to strengthen relationships with the buildings they serve.
✊🏿Juneteenth
Juneteenth marks the date in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas learned of their freedom, more than two months after the end of the Civil War. It's the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States and became a federal holiday in 2021. It's a day of reflection, education, and celebration of Black American culture, history, and community.
This is a date that calls for thoughtfulness over promotion. An animated timeline of Juneteenth's history works well, the draw-on style lends itself naturally to storytelling. Organizations can highlight Black-owned businesses they partner with, amplify employee voices, or share what they're doing to advance workplace equity. HR and DEI teams can animate a simple explainer: "What is Juneteenth and why does it matter?" - accessible content that helps brands mark the day meaningfully rather than superficially.
🧔Father's Day
Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June across the US, UK, Canada, and many other countries. It's one of the biggest gifting occasions of the year and a major commercial moment for consumer brands, but it's also an opportunity for businesses of all kinds to connect with their audience on a more human level.
Retailers, restaurants, and experience brands can animate a gift guide or countdown in the run-up to the day. Employer brands can celebrate the fathers in their workforce with an animated staff appreciation post: "To the dads on our team who do it all, happy Father's Day." HR and wellbeing platforms can use the moment to highlight flexible working policies or parental leave, content that resonates deeply with working fathers and positions the brand as genuinely family-friendly. Financial services brands can animate a short explainer around financial planning for families, using Father's Day as a timely hook.
🌞First Day of Summer
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, celebrated across cultures for thousands of years. For brands it's a natural moment to signal a seasonal shift and tap into the optimism that summer brings, and in 2026 it falls on the same day as Father's Day, giving social media managers a double content opportunity.
Any brand can use the solstice as a "new season, new chapter" hook. Travel and outdoor brands can animate a summer bucket list, retailers can launch a seasonal sale reveal, and B2B brands can keep it simple: "The longest day of the year, make every minute count."
🎶World Music Day
World Music Day, or Fête de la Musique, originated in France in 1982 and is now celebrated in over 120 countries. Every year on 21st June, free concerts and performances take place in streets, parks, and public spaces around the world, amateur and professional musicians alike. It's a day that celebrates music as a universal language and a force for community.
Music brands, venues, and event organizers can animate a gig or concert promo for the day. Brands with a strong identity can use the occasion to showcase the music that defines their culture, an animated "songs that get us through the working day" playlist reveal works well on LinkedIn and Instagram. For businesses running events, VideoScribe's draw-on style is great for building anticipation around a live lineup announcement.
🎉Festa de São João
Festa de São João is one of Brazil's most beloved popular festivals, celebrated throughout June but reaching its peak on the 24th in honor of Saint John the Baptist. It's particularly huge in the Northeast of Brazil, cities like Caruaru and Campina Grande host some of the largest street parties in the world. The festival is known for its forró music, traditional food, colorful bunting, and quadrilha dancing. For Brazilian brands it's one of the most culturally rich content opportunities of the year.
Brazilian brands and businesses targeting Brazilian audiences can animate a vibrant festival celebration, bold colors, traditional imagery, and upbeat messaging land well on social media during the Festas Juninas season. Food and drink brands can showcase traditional São João dishes like canjica and pamonha. Retailers can tie a seasonal promotion to the festivities. The animated whiteboard style works particularly well for telling the story of the festival's origins to international audiences who may be less familiar with it.
📱World Social Media Day
World Social Media Day was launched by Mashable in 2010 to recognize the impact social media has had on global communication. It's a day that celebrates the communities, conversations, and connections that platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube have made possible, and a highly relevant date for anyone working in marketing, communications, or content creation.
This one is tailor-made for VideoScribe users. Social media managers can animate a "by the numbers" post showcasing their brand's social growth, followers gained, videos posted, engagements earned over the past year, revealed stat by stat in draw-on style. Marketing agencies can use it to celebrate their clients' social success.
