holiday seasons
Annual festive times
The holiday seasons are periods of the year marked by clustered celebrations—most commonly late November through early January in Western cultures, encompassing Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year's.
The phrase often appears in plural because it bundles multiple holidays: The holiday seasons are our busiest time for shipping.
Retailers and advertisers favor the term for its inclusivity across religious and secular celebrations.
