Freedom from hayfever.
Take antihistamines, run air filter in house?
I assume you don't suffer from it. Even with the house closed up, the AC on, multiple air purifiers running 24/7, and regular antihistamines it's still a fucking bitch during pollen season. Hell even adding a Sudafed while venturing outside doesn't fully negate the effects.
You learn to deal with it, but it's still sucky.
Temperatures between 14 and 25 degrees Celcius.
We have that in Imperial Beach. There are no vacancies.
Egg nog.
Homemade nog is the best, and you can make it any time you want!
All you need is an egg and a nog
Pretty sure you can make that anytime you like?
Cold evenings with warm cat cuddles.
Don't like how unpleasant these are for much of the year
It's not even summer yet and I'm already contemplating if I can afford to move to New Zealand for half the year.
Ripe fruits!
Cadbury cream eggs
Goodbye teeth, hello diabetes.
I'm pretty sure that those are available year round. I tend to see them throughout the year. If your local retailer doesn't carry them year-round, you can just order 'em online.

Girl scout cookies
My closest grocery store has knockoffs that are available year-round.
It looks like various companies have also done so.

I imagine that if they aren't available in your local grocery store, that you might be able to order them.
Though, of course, you're not making a donation to the Girl Scouts that way, but you can just do that directly, if you'd like.
Those things should just go away. It's basically sawdust at this point.
Snow
butternut squash
If you have room to stock up they’ll keep for months, I still have a squash or two from our last summer harvest.
Wish I did. Thanks for the tip though 😁
Peppermint hot chocolate.
... Swiss Miss with a shot of peppermint schnapps?
(Also try it with Sailor Jerry's spiced rum instead of the peppermint schnapps, though that's totally different)
(I should note that I make SM with water, not milk, so if you make it with milk and it sucks, don't blame me. Though, on the subject of white liquids, eggnog with peppermint schnapps is also good)
(Maybe I should try eggnog with Sailor Jerry's to round out the set. What? You say that's a thing people do already?)
This one is trivial to make at home thankfully. Go pick up a bottle of peppermint extract!
Shamrock shake?
Along with a big slice of Cookie-o'puss
Well, if that's not terrifying, I don't know what is.
Based on this, looks like you can start with a vanilla shake, add mint extract, and add green food coloring.
This is basically it, yes, but sometimes I'm drunk-ordering 40 nuggets and a milkshake and adding the mint myself is enough effort to make me reconsider my reckless disregard for my wellbeing.
Panettone
Blue Jay's staring through my window in the morning
And their death screech to say good morning :). I like BJs too but fine with the robins winning the territory this year.
Ramps and Morels
You just reminded me fiddleheads deserve a mention.
Turkeys
Those are. Just not in the abundance as the fall. And maybe not thawed everywhere.
I've been to three local grocery chains and all of them have frozen turkey breast, but no turkeys.
I mean, it's nearly June so I understand why, but I have a hankering for turkey and need to go to an actual butcher shop.
Cold weather. I love it! ❄️
Pastel de Natas (Portuguese Custard Tarts) at Trader Joe's in the U.S.
They only have them in the spring and they run out fast.
christmas lights
Pineapple Fanta.
Figs. Fresh figs are only occasionally available here and I never remember when so miss them half the years. I also wish my citrus trees had fruit all year, that would be awesome.
And the afternoon thunderstorms. It's so hot already and they haven't started yet, and last year failed entirely because of el Nino. I wouldn't mind them being all year.
cranberry sprite zero
Oliebollen
Märzen
Bundaberg Spiced Ginger Beer
Nothing beats a good Bundy.
oh! and mint m&ms
The spooky orange filling Oreo Cookies. They just hit different.
A lack of school.
ITT - Yanks thinking ultra-processed food is seasonal
Christ on a bike
If people sold bricks only in the Spring they'd be seasonal. Seasonal ≠ in season, or at peak ripeness.
Artificial scarcity to increase prices does not equal seasonal
