What is Hug Holiday?
Hug Holiday, established by the Hugs 4 Health Foundation, celebrates the power of warm, consensual hugs to nurture connection and well-being. It was created to address touch deprivation, especially among seniors in care, and to promote the documented benefits of supportive physical contact like lower stress and greater emotional resilience.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
