Around festivals and seasonal moments, Bing themes its homepage to match and asks about the traditions behind them. Because holidays span the whole world, these questions are a lovely way to learn how other cultures celebrate, if you read the question carefully.
Celebrations in the mix
Diwali, Lunar New Year, Day of the Dead, Hanukkah, Christmas, Eid, Holi, Earth Day and many more, usually timed to when they actually fall. The question might target the origin, the date, a symbol or a custom.
Example questions
You may see "Diwali is often called the festival of what?" (lights), "Day of the Dead originated in which country?" (Mexico), or a question about which animal represents a given Lunar New Year.
Getting it right
Notice exactly what's being asked, origin, date, symbol or practice, since those pull different answers. And remember many holidays follow lunar or religious calendars, so dates shift year to year; a quick search of the festival plus the detail keeps you accurate.
