October is a difficult time for supermarkets. They have to juggle Halloween, fireworks, Xmas, Diwali and Hannukah.
— Mark Wadsworth (@Mark_Wadsworth) October 26, 2015Very true.
They are all rather similar (except Christmas) as this table points out
| Festival | Festival of Light? | Fireworks? | Sweet things? | Savoury things? | Costumes? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Halloween | Yes | No | Yes | No | Yes |
| Diwali | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Hannukah | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No |
| Guy Fawkes | No | Yes | No | Yes | No |
But everyone has different sweets and savouries so it is a bit of a pain
