Also, they are worldwide known: even non-christian countries know Christmas, and some even celebrate it - the commercial part, obviously, not the religious one, but all the Christmas symbols are often well known everywhere, to not say appreciated. Even in countries where it never snow...Better they stick to Christmas, Halloween etc, which for many are such commercialized notions they can't do much wrong.
Halloween is more a "white western countries" thing, because Samhain is originally a celtic - so a western european - feast, like All Saints is a Christian thing - therefore, again, European thing on the beginning. But the horror theme is fun for a lot of non-Christian and/or non-white countries, too, when they don't even already have such a local feast.
That's roughly the same with Saint Valentin, BTW. The day itself is just a pretext, of course, but it's celebrated near everywhere in the world - at least by the young and cosmopolite generations.
But as far as I know, there is no other feasts/celebrations known in near any existing country... So it let three yearly events to implement, if the game can integrate them properly at least - and if the dev cares about spending time to do "specials". More than these three events is just useless, since most people won't even know what it relates to.
