National Parfait Day is observed every year on November 25. The word “parfait” is French for “perfect,” aptly describing this delightful frozen dessert, which originated in 1894. It’s no surprise that this dish makes for a perfect dessert, snack, or even meal. This unofficial holiday celebrates the delicious frozen treat of French origin. While parfaits were traditionally served on decorative plates, they are now commonly layered in tall, thin glasses.
“Parfait’s may be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet“

History of National Parfait Day
The exact origin and founder of National Parfait Day remain unknown. This day is dedicated to celebrating this delightful dessert, which now comes in many varieties that differ from the original parfait recipe, first created in France in the 19th century.
In the United States, the term “parfait” refers to both traditional French parfait desserts and American-style parfaits. American parfaits are typically made by layering ingredients such as ice cream, fresh fruits, granola, yogurt, nuts, and whipped cream. In the northern United States and Canada, yogurt parfaits are especially popular. These are made by layering yogurt with fresh fruits like strawberries, peaches, or blueberries, along with nuts or granola. The term “yogurt parfait” is well-known in some parts of America, and these parfaits are often enjoyed as a breakfast option or a snack.
