While we’re raising our children Jewish (I’m Jewish, my husband isn’t), we do sometimes “celebrate” non-Jewish holidays. After-all, one set of grandparents isn’t Jewish and we don’t want to deprive them of what I’m sure was their life-long dream of spoiling their grandkids during the holidays. So this season, the two competing holidays that we’re celebrating are Passover & Easter. However, I have to hand it to the non-Jews, Easter seems to have the upper hand, and here’s why.
Dinner
Easter – nice and quick one course turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
Passover – nice long four course meal which includes reading of the Haggada before and after the meal. The reading adds an hour to the meal each way. While the singing is nice, it’s a little hard to keep a toddler entertained, not to mention awake, for a 4+ hour meal.
Food
Passover – no chametz! which means no rice, pasta or bread. The three most favourite food groups of a toddler. Food consists of mainly eating Matza; or as my son calls it, big cracker.
Easter – chocolate & candy! Need I say more.
Traditions
Easter – hide chocolate eggs and have the kids search for them.
Passover – Hide the afikoman (aka flavourless matza), and have the kids search for it. mmmm… I wonder which one my toddler son would be more excited for?!?!
Characters \ Hero
Easter – cute little bunny rabbits and chicks.
Passover – Elijah the prophet who enters your house in the form of a ghost to drink from your wine cup. Totally not scary for a child (yeah right). 
I don’t say this very often to my husband, but you win this one John, you win (not that it’s a competition or anything).
Wait till Chanukah. We’re bound to win that one!! Oh wait, we’re competing with Christmas…We’re totally f’d!
Happy Holidays whatever it is you celebrate. May it be sweet and filled with love, health and happiness. 
What about making Passover at your place a little more exciting. It’s up to parents to make the holidays fun! For example, perhaps your afikoman is chocolate covered, and once the kid finds it they get a present. This year we made a kick ass matza house glued together with chocolate spread and tons of different candies/goodies making up the door, trees, etc! Maybe it’s not “Passover” that needs to step it up but the parent!? 😉
To be honest, growing up, not knowing about Easter, I never even questioned the fun factor of Passover. But now that it’s in “competition” with Easter, I have to admit, there’s something more appealing to Easter (from a kid’s perspective, nothing to do with the religious element). I guess to be fair, Easter is now celebrated as a Halmark holiday, a far cry from what the original celebration intended, I assume. It’s all about creating new traditions and like you said, it’s up to the parents to do that. I love the idea of the matzah house. I saw pictures and recipe’s of that going around. I will def. step it up a notch next year so that for my kids it’ll be as exciting (if not more) than Easter!
Definitely up to us to create traditions and make it fun for our kids, especially when living in a community that has other religions with fun traditions involved. Maybe for you it means 8 gifts on Hannuka (since they’d be getting so many from the Xmas side of things). Or on sukkot, maybe it means a tent sleepover party (indoors if it’s too cold and you can make a tent out of different things in the house and eat inside the tent!). For Purim a dress-up party for the kids and their friends with lots of goodies for mishloach manot (that’s what we did this year), etc. Like you said, The true Easter has nothing to do with chocolate eggs, but some clever Christian thought “let’s step it up a notch and make this fun for our kids”! It’s up to parents to make and continue traditions in our own home. If we don’t, no one else will! 😉
