“Holiday season” is a North American term that refers to the period of time from Thanksgiving until the New Year. This covers many of the most important holidays in American culture, when most people in the USA and Canada are likely to travel back to their home town or take time off to spend time with their family.
The Holiday season formally begins with Black Friday and Cyber Monday —also known as “Cyber Week”— and leads up to the slew of December holidays.
