TBF, people having heart attacks around the holidays or shortly after them was somewhat common before the clot shot.
Basically, people are so stressed about buying presents, wrapping presents, scheduling travel, hauling kids on road trips/surviving the airport, that when they finally get to their destination and relax, the stress surge and sudden drop causes a heart attack. I have extended family members this happened to a while ago.
It’s the same reason kids tend to get sick after the holidays too. They get so worked up their bodies crash from the excitement and chaos.
Also—look up the weird amount of kids born with heart issues on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day
I’m a critical care RN and we were just talking about this exact thing at work today. Sorry folks, it is a real thing. We see it every year. Also stroke boats - old folks who take cruises with all the same exacerbations (travel stress, ETOH, too much food) no matter what time of year.

Choices have consequences. Bad choices bring bad outcomes.
There's also the 'Monday' syndrome - most heart attacks happen to occur on a Monday for some reason.
Came here to post this. It's real, now they've given it a catchy marketing name.
Not only the stress of buying gifts and all the other arrangements, but those suffer who have no family or other plans.
Suicides around this time of year are also more common than other times.
