I'm not quite sure why it is, but there are a lot of desserts and recipes that are perfectly acceptable all year, but seem to really just get made during the holiday time of year.  Because that happens, their flavor become associated with the holidays.  Snickerdoodles are one of those types of desserts for me, but I've only ever had them in cookie form.  As a kid, we would visit my grandma and grandpa and my sister and I would help bake a batch of snickerdoodles. And nothing smells as amazing and baking cinnamon.
