holiday feast
Seasonal celebratory meal
A holiday feast is a large, elaborate meal served during a celebration or special occasion—Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas lunch, a Passover seder.
The term emphasizes abundance and ceremony: multiple courses, traditional dishes, gathered family.
We spent all day preparing the holiday feast.
