holiday release
December movie launch
A holiday release is a movie, video game, album, or other entertainment product strategically launched during a major holiday season—typically late November through December in the U.S.—to capitalize on gift-buying and time off: The studio is positioning it as their big holiday release.
The term implies commercial ambitions and often suggests family-friendly or prestige content competing for awards consideration.
