Eid al-Adha celebrations on social media

Across social media networks, users are marking Eid al-Adha with a series of traditional greetings alongside participation in marketing initiatives. The user wa22el_ began the round of greetings with wishes of "May you be well every year," while bintzahran1 added to the greeting message a call for a "struggle against the oppressors."

At the same time, an extensive marketing campaign by the McDonald's chain is evident under the hashtag #ماك_يعايدكم (McDonald's greets you). Many users such as hadil7_1, yolduo, and thamer0120 shared content that combines holiday wishes with the expectation of winning "Eidiya" (holiday money) prizes from the chain.

Additional shades to the holiday were brought by users such as Ben_hade_123, who incorporated the hashtag #Eidiya_Al-Khaf into his greeting, and Ninjaappksa, who marked the holiday while providing direct responses to customers via private channels. The festive discourse was accompanied by descriptions of holiday customs, including Saudi coffee and sweets, as well as humorous references to the "holiday coma" as described by YaSsEr_ii.
