It's not awarded yet, but the participation hat for December 30th (give or take a few timezones) will be Mmmm Bacon.

That's wonderful, because almost* everybody here loves baconcitation needed. However, why is this hat awarded on December 30th only? The other date-based hats** all correspond to Christian, Jewish or other kind of holidays:

What is so special about December 30th? Or did the Hats team just choose a random day?

*: apologies in advance to those who don't eat bacon for religious reasons and/or vegetarians
**: there's another date-based hat, but it's secret so we can't talk about it

While it's not an official holiday, and people over the world are celebrating it on different days of the year, like the first Monday of September, some American people celebrate National Bacon Day on December 30th.
