holiday feasting
Seasonal celebratory meals
Holiday feasting is the tradition of eating elaborate, abundant meals during celebrations—Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas spreads, Passover seders.
The phrase emphasizes both the occasion and the excess: Holiday feasting always leaves me needing new pants by January.
It captures the social ritual of gathering around food, not just the eating itself.
