seasonal rituals
Yearly recurring ceremonies
Seasonal rituals are ceremonies, traditions, or practices tied to particular times of year—harvest festivals, solstice celebrations, spring plantings, or holiday observances.
The term spans religious ceremonies, cultural traditions, and personal habits that recur annually: Their seasonal rituals included apple picking in fall and beach trips in summer.
The phrase emphasizes repetition and timing rather than the specific nature of the activity.
