If by traditions you mean 1-time a year celebrations, those are actually quite a few, here are the most special ones:
-Sinterklaasfeest : 'Sinterklaas' is a holy saint with a staff and red robe visits to bring candy and presents to the dutch children on 5 December, together with his helper "zwarte piet", it is somehow comparable with Christmas. Many children believe he really exists.
-Christmas
-Queen's Day : Everyone sells and buys stuff in a market.
-New year : in addition to fireworks, a special treat called "Oliebollen" and "Appelflappen" are baked, sold and eaten on 31 December.
-Eastern
-Carnaval : Mainly celebrated in the southern region of the Netherlands, funny costumes, beer and parties is the main thing. And a truck filled with candy dumping it everywhere around town.
-Sint Maarten & Halloween : In the Netherlands, Halloween is split up into Sint Maarten and Halloween, where Sint Maarten is the kids getting candy and Halloween is dressing up scary and awkward.
Other traditions:
- There are these 'Snack Bars' all across the country where people can buy fried food (mainly french fries and certain meat specialties) and drinks for a relatively low price. Other countries might also be familiar with these kind off small fast food restaurants.
Food Traditions:
-Eating potatoes 2-5 times a week.
-Raw fish called Haring is buyable and edible near the shore, which is seen as a Dutch tradition by some.
-'Gehaktballen' (meat)
-'Stampot' (meal)
-'Poffertjes' (very small pancakes)
-'Boerenkool' with a huge sausage. (meal)
-'Drop' (treated as candy, most times black.)
-Cookies (cookies are in many different flavours and types in Dutch supermarkets.)
