Cuffing season is the time period during fall and winter where the number of people in relationships increases. The rise is due to people not wanting to be alone during the long winters or during the Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Valentine's Day holidays.
The term revolves around cuffing, which comes from "handcuffing" a person's hands together with handcuffs. It refers to locking down a person into a relationship in order to not be alone during the winter.
