Morphology
The meaning 'the period around major holidays' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'holiday' (time off/celebration) with 'season' (a period of time). This compositional pattern is common across languages and is a frequent, predictable collocation, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Holiday season comes from the simple idea of many holiday days happening in one season of the year, a time when people 'rest', 'travel' and 'celebrate'. So, it now means the busy period around major holidays when families visit, shops are crowded and people travel.
