Noel (4)

I think it could be either:

yule

pere

'noel' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for yule that I've seen before include "This time of year of old" , "festive tide" , "Noel" , "Seasonal feast (arch.)" , "The feast of Christmas" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Guardian.
