Christmas emojis
Christmas emojis are the most concentrated seasonal set in Unicode — 🎄 🎅 🎁 ❄️ ☃️ — and their usage spikes harder than any other group, by an order of magnitude in December.
🎅 supports skin tones, and since 2020 there is also 🧑🎄 for a gender-neutral Santa, which most people still do not know exists.
