Diwali

Diwali, which is known as the Festival of Lights, is a five-day celebration typically at the end of October. The exact days are determined by the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika. It is observed primarily in India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka by those practicing Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism.

Día de Los Muertos

Also known as the Day of the Dead, Día de Los Muertos is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink, and celebration. The holiday is celebrated each year from October 31-November 2.

Hanukkah

Hanukkah, which is also called the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish festival celebrated by lighting an additional candle on the menorah (a candelabrum with eight lights) each night. It begins on the 25th day of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar, which is typically sometime between late November and early December.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday primarily in Canada, the United States, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia. In Canada, it is on the second Monday in October, while in the United States, it is on the fourth Thursday of November. This holiday originated as a fall harvest celebration.

Christmas

In Christian tradition, people commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas Eve (December 24th) and Christmas Day (December 25th). While Christmas is a Christian holiday, it is also a cultural holiday globally, with traditions that span both religious and secular aspects of the season.

Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa is a more recent holiday. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University, was the first to create this holiday and observe it in 1966. This holiday honors African-American culture, and its purpose is to bring the African American community together. It is from December 26th through January 1st. This winter holiday is mainly in the U.S. On the sixth day of Kwanzaa, people hold the Karamu feast. 

New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is the last calendar day of the year, December 31st. There are varying traditions in different parts of the world. Some countries welcome the new year with fireworks displays.
