Cuddle Up Day

Cuddle Up Day is January 6

With January being one of the coldest times of the year nationally, this holiday is intended for loved ones to cuddle up and stay warm!

Whether it be a night that's nice and chilly or even unusually warm, cuddling up has a surprising amount of benefits that anyone can appreciate. Cuddling releases oxytocin, a hormone in which has quite a few health benefits. Aside from giving us a warm and fuzzy feeling, oxytocin reduces the amount of pain we feel. All of which is more than enough for anyone to find a reason to cuddle.

This holiday brings people together in both a literal and figurative manner by cherishing the touch and company of our loved ones.

Ways to Celebrate

Simply cuddle up with someone you love or cherish. You can also use #NationalCuddleUpDay on social media to spread awareness.
