Easter, though not everyone is religous about it, for some people it's a holiday with chocolate.

A few people here celebrate Eid too. There is a theme park here that has a special cheap night for it, with food trucks for people who have been fasting.

The winter solstice. For us that's not at Christmas time, but in the middle of they year. We have a bonfire and singing dancing and the children make lanterns.

New Year's Eve. People mostly just celebrate it with parties and fireworks. Traditionally people who have a partner or a date like to kiss on the stroke of midnight. After midnight we link arms and sing Auld Lang Syne.
