holiday visit
Festive family gathering
A holiday visit is a trip to see family or friends during a major holiday, especially Thanksgiving or Christmas.
The phrase often carries undertones of obligation or emotional complexity—navigating family dynamics, traveling during peak periods, sleeping in childhood bedrooms: I'm dreading the holiday visit this year.
The visit may be brief but loaded with expectation.
