The Northern Hemisphere is where 90% of the world's population lives. If they're assuming they're reaching an audience of fellow English speakers, it's even more disproportionate toward the Northern Hemisphere. The holidays they're implicitly describing like Christmas and New Year's (as celebrated in the winter months) originated and developed in the Northern Hemisphere. This kind of defaultism isn't unwarranted.
