9.United States:

In the U.S apart from dressing up in one's Sunday best and heading off to church on Easter Sunday, Easter is, unsurprisingly, dominated by candy and chocolate. Various popular brands release a special line of sweet treats available only for the Easter period including Easter-colored M&Ms, Cadbury Mini Eggs, malted milk eggs, Cadbury Creme Eggs, and Hershey's miniatures with Easter-colored wrappers. In Washington, D.C., the White House opens its lawn to kids for some Easter egg rolling, an afternoon of storytelling and a visit with the Easter Bunny. This tradition had started in 1878.

10.Canada:

In general food, festivals and fun make up Canadian Easter celebrations. Those who are religious may attend church, but even those who aren't contribute in the festivities, which include putting on Easter plays, special songs and holding spring festivals. A good meal is also enjoyed with the Easter menu featuring maple-baked beans, apple tart and Cape Breton scones. Uniquely, Canada is also home to the world's largest Ukrainian Easter egg, in Vegreville, Alta. The egg was created in 1975 in honor of the Ukrainian settlements in Edmonton. The egg is a symbol of life, eternity, prosperity and good fortune and is recognized the world over as an architectural masterpiece.
