What are the some of the Sunnah acts for the day of 'Eidul-Fitr

Some of the sunan (acts from the Sunnah) for the day of 'Eidul-Fitr

1. It is recommended to bathe on this day. Due to the Mursal narration (in which a Tabiee narrates directly from the Prophet, salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) from Ibn Al Mussayib who said: 

“The Sunnah of (Eid) Al Fitr are three: walking to the Musalla (place of prayer) , eating before going out to the Musalla, and bathing". 

Al Firyaabi narrated it with a Hasan (good) chain, alongside the narration of Ibn Umar, in Al Muwatta with a good chain that he used to bathe on the day of Al Fitr before he would go out to the Musalla.

2. Beginning the Takbeer after the setting of the sun on the last day of Ramadan due to Allah's statement:

وَلِتُكْمِلُوا۟ ٱلْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ 

(He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar; Allah is the Most Great) on seeing the crescent of the months of Ramadan and Shawwal] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.

[2:185]

And he stops with the opening Takbeer of the Imam for the Eid prayer.

3. On Eid Al Fitr it is befitting that he eats dates before going out to the Musalla due to the narration of Anas:

“The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) would not go out on the day of Al fitr until he ate some dates"

[Al-Bukhari]

4. Going out to the Musallah and it shouldn't be prayed in the Masjid except due to an excuse.

In the Two Saheehs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) from the narration of Abu Saeed Al Khudree:

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to proceed to the Musalla on the days of Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adhaa".
