very broad subject...
Both can be celebrated by song
A good trilogy of songs from about 20 years ago is Michael Cards trilogy Emmanuel on the incarnation for example I think it;s the series that Scandelon was in.... if you look up lyrics Michael Card there should be some interesting things to quote A more modern one would be He Chose the Nails with the song The Hand that held the hammer was the hand of God
Both can be celebrated by plays
Christmas plays for incarnation... Passion plays (and movie) for the atonement/sallvation
Christmas, particularly the gift giving and the carols. Readings scriptures such as Isaiah 9:6 relate to the incarnation
Salvation is celebrated several ways, by the communion where Jesus death and resurrection is proclaimed which is celebrated on an ongoing basis and also emphasized at Easter. Reading scriptures such as Isaiah 53 relate to the atonement
Both will be celebrated by the readings... many churches might have an Old Testament reading, An epistle reading and a reading form the gospels. Salvation and the incarnation will be in all three but most clear in the New Testament readings

The incarnation is celebrated in the Feast of the Nativity, on December 25th. You might call it Christmas.
Salvation is celebrated on Pascha, in the spring. You might call it easter. They also celebrate the incarnation and salvation through the Holy Eucharist every Sunday. The bread and wine represents the dual nature of Christ, as well as his death on the cross.
Whoops - the guy above me beat me to it!
Local customs and denominational differences vary.

Baptism. Communion
Good luck! I think you can take it from there (I'm sleepy!).
Think, immersion. Under the water, coming up into a new life, symbolizing death and resurrection... In the new life, Christ dwells in you... God in man... like the incarnation when God actually Became man .... Rituals are not what God wants. (Ps. 50:12-15) The true celebration He desires is a relationship where we trust Him and He fills us. But what symbolizes that on an ongoing basis, after baptism, is communion. We eat ... and drink... and his life eternal becomes ours. He is incarnated once again, in us, and we are saved because we are absorbing Life itself..
