Am I correct in saying that one definition of bidah is: Any act of worship that is restricted when there is no proof in Quran or Sunnah for that restriction or specification. Eg if a person raises their hands for dua after salah occasionally, this is fine but to believe it has to be done after each salah or it is better if it is done after salah is bidah.

Try to come up with something to do on the day they celebrate that, so you do not have to participate. You should also explain to them that this is unislamic and not permitted. In a nutshell, don’t celebrate it with them!
