Christmas time

Late December season

Christmas time is the period surrounding Christmas Day, typically spanning from late November or early December through New Year's.

The season encompasses religious observance, gift-giving, family gatherings, and cultural traditions like decorating, caroling, and holiday parties.

Christmas time always makes me nostalgic.

Also spelled as one word: Christmastime.
