What is the most celebrated holiday in the world? Christmas, Diwali or New Years Day? We will compare, rank, and find the probability of the total number of people who live in countries where these days are national public holiday and see how many people also get the day off to enjoy these festivals. We even compare some festivals that are observed but are not official holidays, including Valentine's Day, Halloween, Singles Day and Earth Day, and see how they compare with the actual holidays, how many people celebrate them and the odds and probability of you celebrating them out of the entire human population.

Methodology: As briefly explained at the end of the video. List all holidays from Google Calendar from all countries. Verify Holidays on the same day with different names that they are the same event. Sum the population of all countries which have the public holiday listed on that date. For non official holidays, sources in description. The Calendar is only for the Year 2021.
Note: There are no list of the number of people celebrating these events as official public holiday anywhere on the entire web, hence we compiled this comparison. This method of comparing official holiday and non holiday observance may have some unavoidable inconsistencies. Numbers may have wide error margins. Some countries such as US, India and Switzerland have various states declaring a public holiday, but not the entire country. If it is listed in the Calendar, it will be assumed the entire population.
