I think you'll be fine either way - most interview seasons start gearing up right at mid-November (or slightly later) and start tapering off at mid-January (or slightly earlier).
If you do mid-Dec - mid-Jan, you will have the holidays off, but there will be on less week of interviewing as the programs will take the time off as well.

November to December based on my season. Only had like 2 after new years and I went on 16 or 17 including the pgy1s

I would just schedule rotations where they know you will be gone and be ok with that. I saved my time off until the end of the year during my 4th year. My last day was February 26th.
Definitely Nov-Dec, but be prepared to have a sprinkling of interviews thereafter
I agree. My interviews were mostly in November-December, but I had a couple that I had to schedule in January.
So the full range I saw was the end of October to beginning of February.
Most of mine actually concentrated in Mid-End Nov and Early-Mid January with Dec being a little bit more free.

Seconded. My very first anesthesiology interview was 10/22 and my very last one (although I cancelled) was 2/10. The large majority were mid-November to mid-January.
I went solid from the start of November through January.
I just realized that next year they are going to redo when they send out the Deans letter (ie. Oct 1 rather than Nov 1). That means the interview schedule will probably get shifted, as some schools waited for the Dean's letter to send interviews and some just said they did 😛
Most of my interviews came in before Nov. 1. I don't really think it'll make much difference.
