Apologies if this is off-topic, but I've just been awarded a hat called "Where in the World?".

Apparently it's a secret hat (shhh!) - does anyone know how I might have earned it?

There is a list of secret hats on Meta Stack Exchange. Apparently, this hat is awarded

For participating on a site on December 21.

The badge is already awarded now, because

it's already December 21st in the eastern-most time zones of the world (UTC+14).

Hmm, that doesn't seem right. I earned the hat before it was December 21 either in Stack Overflow's UTC time or in my local time. It wasn't even December 21 in UTC time when you posted this answer. – Cody Gray yesterday

@bluefeet Is the true secret that this is where we can find Carmen Sandiego? – mbomb007 yesterday
    
All I can provide by way of backup is that I was just awarded this, on a site where my profile showed no activity of any kind on my part in the last week. So at the least it has to be something that isn't logged on the user profile page. – T.E.D. yesterday
    
It is a special anniversary hat from a Mayan. – Manoj Kumar 1 hour ago

Well it's secret so we can't tell you how you got it. You'd have to do some investigating to figure out what might have triggered it.
