Coming, arrival (6)
I believe the answer is:
advent
I believe this is a double definition.
'coming' is the first definition.
(advent is the arrival or coming of something)
'arrival' is the second definition.
(advent is a kind of arrival)
(Other definitions for advent that I've seen before include "Christian season" , "Coming, arrival" , "The season leading up to Christmas" , "Time approaching Christmas" , "Forty days preceding Christmas" .)
