June 26, aka 626 Day, is the perfect excuse to honor Stitch in the tastiest way possible: by eating your way through his most iconic (and chaotic) food moments! From sandwiches to desserts to celebrating with your ohana, here’s how to turn this mischief-maker’s favorite bites into a full day of delicious fun.
7. Celebrate 625 with a Sandwich
Kick off your 626 Day by honoring the sandwich king himself: Experiment 625, also known as Reuben! While Stitch may be the star of the day, Reuben deserves a little love, too. He has all of Stitch’s incredible powers, but he puts his energy into something far more delicious: making sandwiches.
Start your celebration with a tasty tribute—whether you craft your sandwich masterpiece at home or grab your favorite from a local deli, the key is to enjoy it with Reuben’s laid-back, snack-loving spirit. Make it a moment: sit down, slow down, and savor it. Make it a picnic or a build-your-own sandwich bar with friends or family.
This little gesture is a fun and flavorful way to kick off the day’s festivities, and a perfect reminder that not every experiment needs to be chaotic. Some just want to eat lunch in peace. And Reuben would definitely approve of that.
5. Get Some Ice Cream—But Don’t Drop It!
You know the one—the poor background character in Lilo & Stitch who keeps losing his ice cream? Don’t be like him.
Celebrate 626 Day with your favorite frozen treat: a Dole Whip, a scoop of Lilikoi sorbet, or a massive sundae. Find the perfect spot to enjoy it: in the park, by the beach, or under a palm tree in your backyard.
6. Get Coffee—Stitch’s Favorite Drink
Stitch loves coffee more than he probably should (remember the baby bottle scene?). While we don’t recommend drinking it quite like that, we do recommend sipping something special in your favorite Stitch-themed mug.
For a true taste of the islands, try Joffrey’s Ohana Blend—a medium-roasted flavored coffee created with a little help from a mad scientist and inspired by everyone’s favorite experiment. With flavor notes of pineapple and sweet coconut crème, this brew brings a tropical twist that feels right at home in Hawaii or in your kitchen.
Pair it with a pastry, pineapple cake, or donut, and you’ve got the perfect way to start your 626 Day celebration. After all, ohana means family, but now, it also means coffee.
4. Eat a Whole Dessert (Or Share It!)
In one memorable scene, Stitch eats an entire cake, then sheepishly gives it to Lilo. This 626 Day, live your best dessert life. Go ahead, order the big slice of cake, the oversized brownie, or the lava cake for two.
And hey, if you feel like sharing with your ohana afterward? Even better.
3. Get Your Sister a Piece of Pizza
Another classic Lilo & Stitch moment is when Lilo hands her sister Nani a slice of pizza during a rough moment. It’s sweet, supportive, and surprisingly delicious.
Today’s the perfect excuse to grab a slice with your sibling or someone who’s always there for you. Whether it’s homemade, takeout, or a stop at your favorite pizza joint, this one’s all about love (and cheese).
2. Treat Your Pet to a Chicken Snack
Remember when Stitch almost stole a chicken leg at the alien restaurant? (Tempting, right?) Use this moment to treat your own furry friend!
Give your pet a special snack today—chicken-flavored if you want to stay on theme. No pets? That is no problem. Donate treats to your local shelter or animal rescue in Stitch’s honor.
1. Celebrate with Your Ohana at ‘Ohana—and Meet Stitch!
What better way to end your 626 Day than by dining with Stitch himself? Head to ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for a delicious family-style meal with island flavors, fun vibes, and the chance to meet Stitch in person.
It’s a celebration of food and family, exactly what Stitch would want.
Eat, Laugh, and Love Like Stitch
626 Day is the perfect opportunity to mix laughter, food, and heart. Whether you’re indulging in your favorite treats, recreating movie moments, or just enjoying a meal with your ohana, remember what matters most: connection, chaos, and a whole lot of flavor.
Happy 626 Day—and don’t forget the sandwiches!
