I mean, there are a lot of traditions in the US. Thanksgiving, 4th of july, groundhog day, all the random things little towns do.
I think it still pales compared to its neighbours like Mexico who have also been born through colonization.
But maybe that's because USA has a tendency to make everything a super commercial event which gives us that idea.
Its because mexico is a catholic nation and most things they do are related to that or a synecretic sort of thing with the ancient indigenous religions. If you want to see something similar in the US go to a Little Italy during the feast of the assumption. That is also a catholic event syncretic with old roman religion concepts.
That is part of our culture heritage. People who want to claim the US doesn't have a rich culture are defining culture to exclude all culture in the US which is not fair. It isn't hard to see a lot of culture in the US if you look, but many people want to think there isn't any and so go out of their way not to see it.
I think culture and tradition are different things. Modern pop culture is not tradition for example.
Either way, claiming there is less in some other part of the world where families live is just a way to making yourself feel good by tearing someone down. Traditions and culture are different, but that doesn't mean they don't exist or are lesser someplace else.
