Season 1 (1x01): October 22, 2011 (because it's Emma's birthday)

Sason 5 (5x05): There are pumpkins...so Fall 2013

Season 5 (5x21): It's obviously close to Christmas based on the building decorations.

Season 6 (6x16): January/Febrary 2014 (because Hamilton is close to debut and Adam said it debuts 18 months earlier in Once) Set dressings are really unreliable. Season 5 has to take place during the summer since the school year started in Season 6. Which means Season 6 takes place during the fall, it was even said what season it was in the show.
