holiday meal

Celebration table spread

A holiday meal is a special meal prepared for a holiday or festive occasion, typically larger and more elaborate than everyday eating.

These meals often feature traditional dishes associated with the particular holiday—turkey at Thanksgiving, ham at Easter—and gather family or friends around the table: We're hosting the holiday meal this year.
