While Christmas is usually when Terraria adds special holiday items like presents, there are a few ways to get presents outside of the Christmas season:
Use a Festive Tree or Frozen Present
The Festive Tree and Frozen Present items can be crafted at a Sawmill or Solidifier respectively. When placed, they will randomly spawn loot like presents over time similar to how the Game generates gifts during Christmas.
Buy From the Traveling Merchant
On rare occasion, the Traveling Merchant NPC may sell Frozen Presents in his inventory. You can check with him daily once he spawns to see if he has any for sale.
Find in Dungeon Chests
Presents have a small chance to generate naturally inside Dungeon Chest loot. Exploring the Underground Dungeon is one way presents could randomly drop outside holidays.
So while Christmas is the most reliable time, with a little luck and persistence these alternate methods may yield some presents off-season as well in a Terraria world.
