List of holiday and seasonal episodes

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

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 are rarely mentioned.

Hanami
Flower viewing (花見) parties are held in spring when the sakura trees blossom, usually in April. Because sakura blossoms are such a symbol of spring in Japan, you see them in many spring episodes, even outside April.
