It really depends on the holiday, and on which group of people are observing it. Canada is a big and very diverse country. For example, the majority of people are Christian, so they would observe Christmas. But customs, including the preferred kinds of food, have changed as people's tastes have changed. Canada used to be a British colony, and since the time of Queen Elizabeth 1 (back in Shakespeare's day), goose was the preferred Christmas meal. But today, most people prefer turkey, duck, or even chicken. Also, ethnic people put their own twist on the Christmas meal-- Portuguese or Italian or French Canadians integrate their own food traditions and flavors.
Canada is also home to a sizable number of Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and members of various First Nations tribes (what Americans used to call "Indians" and Canadians used to call "Eskimos"). These groups observe their own special holidays, and eat the foods associated with their cultural traditions. Thus, it is difficult to discuss "Canadian" holiday foods, since the customs (and what people like to eat) will vary depending on whether you are in Montréal, where the traditions of France are still influential, or whether you are in some other part of the country where the influences are more British. It should also be noted that many Canadians watch American cable TV channels like Food Network, and some American food customs have become popular in Canada too.
