Easter lines work because the props are already everywhere — eggs, bunnies, chocolate, pastel everything. Deliver them at the family gathering, the egg hunt, or the brunch table, where the seasonal setting does half the setup for you. Out of season they just confuse people, so spend them while the baskets are still out.
The egg and chocolate ones land with anyone; save the resurrection-adjacent material for company you know can take a joke.
The window is short — roughly Palm Sunday to the last discounted chocolate egg — but inside it these lines have an unfair advantage: the whole setting is already playful. Egg hunts, church socials, family brunches and spring fairs all supply props, and referencing something physically present always beats an abstract opener.
If one lands well, follow it up like a normal human — the line buys the laugh, the conversation after it does the rest. And if you need material for the rest of the year, the other holiday collections cover everything from Valentine's to New Year.
