The festive season (8)

I believe the answer is:

yuletide

(Other definitions for yuletide that I've seen before include "Yeti duel in season of peace" , "Christmas period" , "in depths of winter" , "Old word for the Christmas festival - a log is named after it" , "Present time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
