Test for significance of peaks (maximum) in time series

I have a time series of values, something like this:

              value
2015-12-01     577
2015-12-02     672
2015-12-03     793
2015-12-04    1733
2015-12-05    3441
2015-12-06    2765
2015-12-07    3084
2015-12-08    2624
2015-12-09    1896
2015-12-10    1617

If I plot it, it looks like this:

It is obvious, that we have a peak around the end of January. I now need to show that this is a significant difference cause by a predefined event. So far I used a simple ‘abnormal value’ method, basically subtracting the mean (except event window) from every value. A t-test on the abnormal values of the event compared to expected 0 (because we subtract the mean so population mean of difference should be 0, right?). In this case i get the following mean difference or abnormal values for the days around the event:

2016-01-22     151.368194
2016-01-23    5965.368194
2016-01-24    1922.368194
2016-01-25    -102.631806
2016-01-26    -188.631806

The t-test says its not significantly different from 0. So I need to conclude that there is no effect of the event, even though its obviously a peak.

I thought about regression as well, difference to mean as dependent variable, but what do I use as independent variables? Just dummy for event window?

How do I test for significance of that peak?
