They know viewers are busy during the holidays, and instead of taking a big hit to the shows numbers, they go on hiatus, and as HM said, this allows for the network to air fluffier holiday specials and shows instead (things like Charlie Brown Christmas, the Toy Story holiday special, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and those stop motion animation things from the 70's, as well as The Great Christmas Light Fight and The Great Holiday Bake Off). So while we are getting a break, it is more like Seasons 1 and 2 of Once, not like 3, 4, and 5, where the break marked the end of the A arc and the begining of the B arc.
