We keep getting inundated with warnings about holidays and COVID-19.  The CDC has holiday guidelines as well.  I began to wonder what the data shows about what we all assume.  So, we created this database to share with the world.  

The analysis is only as good as its data.  Our data source is as follows:

Holiday data:

COVID data:

This website is about correlations.  Correlation does NOT equal causation.

One needs to take into account the varying attitudes and regulations when comparing a country’s COVID-19 trend versus another.  Other factors like family gathering behavior is not analyzed in this database.  There are many other factors that needs to be examined before we can make any final conclusions.
