List of holiday and seasonal episodes

This is a list of holidays, birthdays and other seasonal events seen in the Pretty Cure franchise. The list is roughly in calendar order, starting from February (when Pretty Cure seasons start).

Not all of the episodes listed here give a lot of attention to the holiday or event they're listed under, sometimes because it's not a big holiday, sometimes because there just isn't much room in the plot. For completeness, all the episodes that give some attention to a theme or event are listed here. For some holidays, like Mother's or Father's Day, there may be more episodes with that theme than are listed here, but aren't included because they didn't air close to the holidays' actual dates.

Valentine's Day / White Day[]

February 14 and March 14. Valentine's Day is when girls give chocolate to boys, White Day is when boys give chocolate to girls. Most Pretty Cure seasons are still busy introducing the main cast around this time (February 14 would be only episode 2 or 3), so these holidays are rarely mentioned. Only one season thus far has done so, taking place on White Day.

Hanami[]

Flower viewing (花見, Hanami^?) parties are held in spring when the sakura trees blossom, usually in April. Because cherry blossoms are such a symbol of spring in Japan, they can be seen in many spring episodes, even outside April.

Mother's Day[]

Second Sunday in May.

Father's Day[]

Third Sunday in June. Same as Mother's Day above.

Urara with her father, grandfather and manager

Tanabata[]

July 7. People in Japan often celebrate this holiday by writing wishes and hanging them from bamboo plants.

Beach[]

Usually a summer activity. Beach episodes are usually released from June to August.

Summer festival[]

Shrine festivals can be held throughout the year, but they're most popular in the summer.

Spooky / test of courage[]

A classic Japanese summer pastime is telling horror stories. Sometimes this is combined with a test of courage. Some of the episodes listed here overlap with other themes like the summer festival.

Christmas[]

Christmas itself is on December 25, though Christmas Eve, December 24, is often celebrated more in Japan.

New Year's Day[]

January 1. Since most Pretty Cure seasons are gearing up for the final showdown around this time, not many have time to spend on New Year's traditions.
