Yes, it is! It's common on days that are events like parties, competitions, and other things like that that happen during the day. It wouldn't typically be used for well-known or official holidays. Ex: It's pizza day at work today. Ex: Are you looking forward to the school's sports day this week? Ex: What did you get your mom for Mother's day? Ex: I'm not going to the Christmas party.
