National Bacon Day is a day when fast food restaurants discount their bacon menu items.

National Bacon Day (not to be confused with International Bacon Day in September) is celebrated every year on December 30, and in 2024, it'll fall on a Monday. National Bacon Day was created by Danya “D” Goodman and Meff “Human Cannonball” in 1997 as a way to bring people together with their favorite food.
