These events are only available during or near holidays and offer new boxes or promotions available that have not been before. You can primarily tell if a promotion is available usually when DarkOrbit sends you an email or if you just log in while it is happening, you will see a pop-up and on the Home page (right column "Upcoming" or even in the "News" section).
