Coming for a time before Christmas (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advent

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'coming' is the first definition.
(advent is the arrival or coming of something)

'for a time' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'before christmas' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for advent that I've seen before include "Time approaching Christmas" , "Season for a candle?" , "Church season" , "Coming (of Christmas)" , "Second Coming" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
