A day or period designated to protest, reject, or counter the celebration of a traditional holiday.
From anti- (against) + holiday (a day of celebration). 'Holiday' comes from Old English 'haligdæg' (holy day). 'Antiholiday' is a modern term reflecting contemporary activist culture.
Some groups organize 'Capitalist Christmas' protests or 'Buy Nothing Day' to actively resist consumer holidays—it's a way of using the holiday calendar itself as a form of political protest!
