Get ready to celebrate Apple Cider Day on November 18th! This day is all about celebrating the delicious autumnal beverage that warms us up during the chillier months. Apple cider is thought to have originated in Europe over 2,000 years ago, but it didn't gain popularity until it was brought to America by English and Dutch settlers in the 1600s. Nowadays, apple cider can be found everywhere from farmers markets to grocery stores and festivals. So grab a mug of your favorite hot or cold apple cider this November 18th and enjoy!
