Easter, Passover, and 4/20 Coincide in 2025

In 2025, Easter Sunday, the unofficial cannabis holiday 4/20, and the last day of Passover all coincide, creating a rare triple holiday overlap last seen in 2014 and not due again until 2087. Celebrations across the U.S. include 'Easter nug hunts,' kosher THC edibles, and themed events, as businesses leverage the unique occasion for creative marketing and increased sales. The origins of 4/20 trace back to a group of California high school students known as 'the Waldos,' whose tradition spread widely through the Grateful Dead fan community. Cannabis is now legal in 24 U.S. states, with industry sales projected to reach nearly $45 billion in 2025. Some religious and industry leaders express mixed feelings about merging cannabis culture with religious observances, emphasizing respect for tradition and personal beliefs. The overlap highlights both the normalization of cannabis and ongoing debates about balancing tradition, celebration, and commerce.
