they have common holy days with sunni. only they have eid of Ghadir added that is considered the most festival of Islam.
shia and sunni have mostly same beliefs and both believe in fundamental beliefs of Islam. today there is up to 260 sect in Islam that are in two category of shia and sunni.
shia believes in Allah, prophet and all fundamentals of Islam.
shia believe after death of prophet God selects the successive for prophet who is the leader of Muslim community and people can not select it.
shia believe the Caliph (Representative of God in earth after prophet) is appointed only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." (Quran 2:30)
this means only God can select an Islamic leader.
in shia they are only fourteen infallible (12 Imams and prophet and his daughter Fatimah Zahra (sa))
and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (this knowledge is from God and by permission of God and is not absolute knowledge. absolute knowledge is only for God and they still do not know many things. but they know anything human may need to know.) and they never die and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human.
and shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.
shia Muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliph valid because God did not select him. they believe God ordered prophet to declare Ali is selected as successor of prophet (Quran 5:3) and prophet did this mission in Ghadir event that was in last Hajj of prophet in his life and prophet did a speech for 120,000 Muslims participating that Hajj with prophet. the famous shia book Al-Ghadir is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Hadith from 100,000 sunni references and read all of 10,000 sunny books. one sunni scholar said if we want to reply Al-Ghadir book (by Allameh Amini) we should first destroy all our books.
Shia doctorin has root in Karbala. when tragedy of Karbala happened most of iranians became shia.

Difference between suuni and shiite Muslims?
The core difference between shiite Muslims and sunni Muslims dates back to the moment of the death of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. This story is rarely recounted, and as a result, there has been growing ignorance within the Muslim community due to the lack of knowledge. The Shiite belief is that before the passing of the Holy Prophet, he had chosen a successor to continue the mission of spreading the word of Islam to his cousin, Imam Ali. This was as commanded by God rather than the Prophet's own will and choice. For this reason, Shiite Muslims believe that the true message of Islam has been sent down through the Prophet's bloodline and close family. On the other hand, it is believed that Sunni Muslims follow the rulings of the close companions of the Prophet. It was decided by the companions that a political vote be held to determine who will lead the Muslim community at the time, in contrast to God's will. Despite this, both Sunni and Shiite Muslims follow the same book, the Holy Quran. I hope this has answered your question :)
