Answer:
This is an addition; the takbir is added to the praise, because the day of the festival is a day of takbir[Al-Baqarah 2:185] and the takbir is also prescribed in the festival of sacrifice, in the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and on the days of Tashriq. So these are days of takbir. Thus, this is added to the praise of Allah. Yes.
