seasonal celebrations
Yearly recurring festivals
Seasonal celebrations are holidays, festivals, and observances tied to particular times of year—often marking solstices, harvests, or religious occasions that recur annually.
The phrase encompasses Christmas, Thanksgiving, Diwali, and similar events without specifying any single tradition: The store stocks decorations for seasonal celebrations.
The term is sometimes used as a religiously neutral alternative to "Christmas" in public or commercial contexts.
