Celebrating National Oreo Cookie Day: A Sweet Tradition

On March 6, 2025, America celebrates National Oreo Cookie Day, honoring one of the nation’s favorite snacks—the Oreo cookie. First introduced in 1912 by the Nabisco company, the Oreo has become a staple treat in households across the country. The origins of the iconic cookie trace back to the city of New York, where it was initially marketed as a chocolate wafer biscuit with a sweet cream filling. Over the years, the Oreo name and design have undergone transformations, yet the cookie has remained beloved by millions. According to Nabisco, the Oreo has inspired many culinary creations, including the famous ‘Oreo milkshake’ and the celebrated ‘Oreo cheesecake.’ On this day, fans of the cookie are encouraged to indulge in various Oreo-themed activities, such as baking, sharing recipes, and participating in local Oreo-themed events. Notably, the recognition of this day is a testament to the cookie’s enduring popularity, with over 450 billion Oreos sold globally since its debut. As Oreo fans join together to celebrate, a reminder of the cookie’s unique phrase, ‘Twist, Lick, and Dunk,’ echoes across social media platforms. It’s a day dedicated to enjoying not just the cookie but the memories and experiences it has brought to people of all ages.
