seasonal festivities
Yearly holiday traditions
Seasonal festivities are celebrations tied to particular times of year—holidays, harvest gatherings, winter solstice traditions, and similar occasions.
The phrase often appears in contexts carefully avoiding religious specificity: The office party celebrates seasonal festivities rather than Christmas.
It encompasses decorations, gatherings, and customs associated with these recurring celebrations.
