Calendar Events & Scheduling

Holiday Season

The concentrated period of major festive celebrations, typically from late November through early January in Western cultures, encompassing Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year's Day, and the most commercially significant retail period of the year in many economies — accounting for 20-30% of annual retail sales in the United States. Similar high-density festive periods exist globally, such as the Chinese New Year season in East Asia and the Diwali-Eid cluster across South Asia.
