Can I search for Google Streetview's by a particular date? I am not bothered where in the world, I could just do with the locations being on the same day on any year.
I think there is a feature if you use streetview via google maps.
Can't remember. May be worth a search.
Streetview images aren't updated that frequently. There is a history function but the dates can be years apart, different seasons etc.
In Google maps when you're at streetview level you'll see a clock icon on the upper right. Click it and you'll see year / month for which image data exists and you can slide the bar to see the various captures. Obviously your choice is limited to when the freaky-deaky car was driving around.
If you then click on the magnifying glass in the timeline it teleports the main screen to that time and you can scroll around as usual using imagery from that period.
Or are you talking about satellite imagery (not Streetview)

For completeness: it's still possible for satellite imagery. It's still not comprehensive, but it changes way more often than street view stuff. I think you just have to (install and) use google earth instead of using the web interface.
I am after streetview imagery from around Christmas - ones with decorations, santa, baby Jesus in the manger etc.

That is worth a try
Yeah, see my previous comment.
baby Jesus in the manger etc.
no chance...satellites didn't exist 2000 years ago
I use Streetview a lot and I honestly don't think i've ever seen any that have obviously been taken in the winter.
Maybe the Googlemobile only works in the spring / summer?

Whoa. Dude's right!
But then the value of driving the car around must be increased with the likelihood of better weather, higher sun position and more daylight (presume they pay some dude the minimum wage for an algorithm to tell them where to drive for as long as is legally allowed with a bottle to piss in).
Google Earth for satellite images from the past.
For Street View, click the box in the upper left corner. If there's any past images, they'll show up like this as dots on the thumbnail, and are available full screen if you click the thumbnail image
Edit: Using Google Maps in Chrome browser
That streetview history thing is awesome.
Had a look at my in-laws where they have changed the front garden/wall set up quite a bit in the last 10 years. Strangely when I first went in it was on 2012, but there were a few different images all the way up to July 2019.
Look at the house we are moving to in a few weeks time - there's only one image from 2008. Obviously suburban market town streets aren't high on their priorities!
I'm on streetview, trimming a large fuchsia bush in my front garden.
I'm a lot fatter and balder than I thought I was.
I can find the history, if I know an image was of something Christmassy... What I cannot do is find streetview images for 'December', then haul through a few to find locations...
Wow, mind blown. Still the latest update on my street is 2012. Looks like they always come round on bin day as well.

Someone should have told the blokes that built the Nazca Lines. They’d get home at night and impatiently click refresh on google maps waiting for their handiwork to appear. They were on dial-up too - phone was always engaged
You could streetview Australia and New Zealand. You might find a christmas tree but you're unlikely to find it lit up.
This tells you where the Streetview cars will be (and there is UK acitivity planned): https://www.google.com/streetview/explore/#sv-headed
Web.Archive tells you where the SV cares were.
For Dec 2019 there is nothing showing in the UK but there was activity in the US.
