Cheesecake Heaven’s once-a-year red velvet cheesecake stuffed cupcakes on the table for Valentine’s

Santa Claus comes once a year – and according to folklore, St. Nick travels around the world in one night delivering the heart’s desire for children to unwrap on Christmas morning.

Then there’s the Easter bunny, a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter, depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs on Easter Sunday.
