winter feast
Cold-weather celebration meal
A winter feast is a large celebratory meal held during the winter season, typically around holidays like Christmas, Hanukkot, or the winter solstice.
The term evokes abundance and warmth against the cold—roasted meats, hearty dishes, and gathering with family or community: The village prepared a winter feast for the solstice.
In fantasy settings, winter feasts often appear as medieval-style banquets in great halls.
