Siblings Day 2025: What is it and why is it celebrated?

It's time for you to celebrate your siblings!

Siblings can mean a lot to you - they can be your best friend, someone to give you advice or someone you can play your favourite games with.

Siblings Day is a chance to celebrate some of your closest family, and it takes place on April 10 every year.

While Siblings Day is not officially recognised in the UK like Mother's Day and Father's Day, some people still choose to recognise it as a chance to celebrate loved ones.

If you want to celebrate your siblings, why not leave a comment at the bottom of the page?

What are siblings?

Siblings don't always get along but sometimes that's part of the fun!

Simply put, having a sibling means you have a brother or a sister.

They can be older or younger and sometimes they may not be directly related to you.

A full sibling means you share both the same parents. A half-sibling means you share one parent, so your mum might've had you both but you have different dads for example.

Some siblings aren't related by blood at all. Lots of people have step-siblings when two families have joined together.

How can I celebrate Siblings Day?

Do you have big or little siblings?

Anyone with siblings can celebrate the day - it could be a great chance to say thank you to a sibling that has helped you out recently.

Maybe you could make time to play a game that you know your sibling likes, or do some arts and crafts together.

You could write a special card for your brother or sister, and tell them what they mean to you.
