hallmark holiday
Commercialized celebration day
A hallmark holiday is a holiday perceived as commercially manufactured or artificially promoted to sell greeting cards, flowers, and gifts.
The term derives from Hallmark Cards, the greeting card company.
Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Sweetest Day are frequently called hallmark holidays by skeptics: I'm not buying into this hallmark holiday nonsense.
