Maybe where you live, but no. Today is actually the 12th of december. Yanks like to say thats how it is but I have never, or rather rarely, heard them call their independence day July 4th. It’s always 4th of July. So, no. Its not the speech order.
Independence Day is the sole exception in common speech. I suspect this is a older style carried forward into today. Any other date, like today’s, is Month Day (ordinal). Halloween is said October 31st, not the 31st of October. The latter is also much longer.
Cinco de Mayo is of course not in English.
The 4th of July falls on July 4th. I can assure you as someone who has lived in the US for my entire life, we say it out loud, month, day, year and we write it to match that.

Sure. But we also say “September 11th” when referring to the world trade center attacks.
4th of July is the exception in American English.
