October is a difficult time for supermarkets. They have to juggle Halloween, fireworks, Xmas, Diwali and Hannukah.

Very 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
