If you want to work backwards, Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day!) will be on February 17th, 2026. Mark it. That’s the day you are legally required to eat a stack of pancakes the size of your head.

No one mentions the calories. They simply don’t count on Pancake Day. It’s in the constitution somewhere.
Is this a “chocolate egg in the shops” thing?
Oh, absolutely. By January 2nd, the supermarket shelves will be a sea of purple and yellow foil. You’ll see a giant Lindt bunny staring at you from the aisle end. It’s terrifying and delicious in equal measure.
By the time April 3rd rolls around, you’ll be sick of the sight of chocolate. But you’ll eat it anyway. You always do. That’s the Easter spirit.
