Mark these dates on your 2025 calendar and start the year out right.

　　

　　Between Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve, the months of November and December are jam-packed. But January has arrived! Since it’s officially 2025, you might be breathing a sigh of relief now that there’s finally a break in the holiday action.

　　While the big holidays are firmly in the rearview mirror, there's still plenty to celebrate in the month of January, starting with some much-needed downtime. After that, there are host of holidays and observances to mark down on your calendar right through January 31.

　　There's Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which commemorates the leader's birthday on Monday, Jan. 20. It's a federal holiday, which means many schools and government agencies, like the USPS, will be closed on observance of the day. It also happens to be Inauguration Day in which the new president will be sworn in at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, DC.

　　Aside from Jan. 20 (which also marks Blue Monday), you'll also find a variety of other days, weeks and observances throughout the month, including the Lunar New Year, which takes place on Jan. 29, as well as the Chinese New Year. If you like trivia, then show your love on National Trivia Day, which lands on Saturday, Jan. 4. Or, if pie is your jam (yes, food pun very much intended), then celebrate on National Pie Day, which falls on Thursday, Jan. 23.

　　Other fun January holidays include National Peanut Brittle Day, Chocolate Cake Day, Compliment Day, Dress Up Your Pet Day, Opposite Day and many other observances to recognize all month long.

　　So, grab your calendar and prepare to mark down all the January holidays coming your way.
