No one can deny the importance of holidays – did you know it’s been shown that holidays can release stress? Holidays provide us with a much-needed break to relax. Unless you’re a workaholic and in a serious relationship with your job, a holiday break is likely one of the few remaining good things to live for. While people of different cultures each have unique holidays and traditions, most of them center around the same idea - taking a break from a busy lifestyle to spend time with loved ones. Some holidays and festivals are meant to be spent cozy at home, others involve large social gatherings. Many holidays involve prominent figures, such as religious figures or mascots. That’s why cosplay often plays a role in heightening the fun and significance of these holiday occasions. From Christmas’ Santa to Easter’s bunny to the green scheme of St. Patrick’s day, most holidays offer a way to celebrate that’s more expressive. Let’s take a look at some festive costumes and wig ideas for upcoming holidays and festivals! 1. Easter Bunny Wig Easter may not be considered a federal holiday, but since it falls on a Sunday it doesn’t really matter! Although it may fall short of huge holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, most people are fond of Easter as it brings up memories of dyeing eggs, scavenger hunts, and more. Plus, the Easter Parade is one of the largest and most colorful parades broadcasted in New York City! Easter bunny wigs can give a fun festive vibe for parades and family gatherings. 2. Fourth of July themed flag costume Also known as Independence Day, this holiday is one of the most important holidays in the USA and a great time to express patriotism. This day is filled with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches, and ceremonies. All of these events are a great opportunity to accessorize yourself with flag-themed merchandise and costumes! It can be a fun way to pay tribute to the independence of our beloved nation. 3. St Patrick's Day St. Patty’s Day may not be a federal holiday, but given its growing popularity among people of non-Irish descent, we wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a public holiday someday. It’s the feast of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and a day of clovers, beer, and the color green. If you’d like to avoid being pinched for not wearing green, this chasuble-like costume features different shades of eye-catching green that are impossible to ignore.

Valentine's Day costume Valentine's day is a hugely anticipated day for people who are in love and in a relationship. For people who are single, on the other hand, it can bring up some mixed feelings. Love it or hate it, Valentine's day is here to stay, and single folks can always use it as a means to celebrate their love for family and friends! While Valentine’s Day might not be the best day to wear a costume per se, there are many garment options for self-expression on this holiday. From wearing red to matching with your significant other, it’s up to you to find the right option! This matching couples T-shirt is certainly an adorable choice (sorry, single people!) 5. Christmas Christmas! The most widely celebrated and anticipated holiday, this occasion is not just for people of the Christian faith, but also for countless others. Christmas is a universal holiday that brings joy to people regardless of age, sex, faith, race, political view, or sexual orientation. Needless to say, Christmas-themed costumes are hugely popular all over the world, especially those that mimic Santa and his elves. Switch things up and dress as a unique, luminous Christmas tree! We hope this article gave you some ideas on how to express yourself during some of the most popular holidays! There are plenty of ways to celebrate a holiday or a festive day, but the addition of costumes and cosplay accessories gives them a new level of fun. Happy holidays!
