Here's a prank I've been thinking about for a while: the "Eastern Orthodox" April Fools day. Just play pranks on people on the 8th & tell them it's the Eastern Orthodox April Fools day, just like the Eastern Orthodox Christmas is 1 week later than the Western church's you're following the dictates of the Eastern Church on pranks. I occasionally do this with St. Patrick's day: we show up in an Irish bar on March 24th wearing goofy green hats & shamrock buttons saying "Kiss Me I'm Irish," telling people it's the Eastern Orthodox St. Patrick's Day. I've gotten people to buy me Guiness for celebrating this, they're so proud to learn this "New" holiday.
