I feel you! Plus they could like add new drops for the bosses, like a turkey summon weapon and pioneer armor for turkor, and an easy mode version of the cross necklace for lepus!

Well uh, actually they had them for the whole month usually. plus they most likely still have the old code somewhere that they can still use for them.

legal reasons? Is easter and turkeys copyrighted?

I recall someone with official status saying that the intellectual property rights for Turkor and Lepus, et cetera, belong to the company that developed the console/mobile versions from that era. If someone were to mod Terraria with their own holiday bosses and items that didn't violate IP law, of course that would be legal.
Thanksgiving in the United States takes place on the fourth Thursday in November. Sometimes that's the last Thursday, but in some years November has five Thursdays.
Easter's date can be calculated without lookup tables by applying any of several algorithms, using only basic arithmetic operations. I use the method described in Samuel Butcher's "Ecclesiastic Calendar: Its Theory And Construction", published in 1877.
If anyone is interested, I have a version adapted for PHP, which should be easy to translate into C#. Might have a C# version already written; will leave grep searching for it.
Hope this helps.

While it would be cool, I feel like it wouldn't add as much to the game as other bosses have. Sure they could just add more drops, but they don't feel as "authentic" as the recent bosses do anyways (with their attacks and overall feel).

A holiday isn't intellectual property.
The bosses Turkor and Lepus definitely are IP, and not Re-Logic's IP. For a different company, or one or more persons, to use them without permission would risk a lawsuit (though I'd think legal action would begin with a cease-and-desist notice; ignoring it could lead to being sued for violation of IP rights).
I'm in agreement with McChainChomp. These bosses are old hat. LordGwen, If you like the Horn O' Plenty, come up with your own version — without copying existing assets, modifying it enough so it's a distinctive item — mod it in, and you're golden. How much would it have to be altered? For that you'll need to consult a lawyer, which I'm not.
[eta] On the subject of cease-and-desist orders, here's some info that's directly relevant; it concerns the predecessor of Terraria and Nintendo's legal department. Redigit

It's alright, but it doesn't add as much value as the recent ones have (think Empress of Light or Queen Slime, which add a variety of drops instead of only a couple).

i think that turkor was a pretty cool and unique boss, with the whole hydra battle. lepus, on the other hand, is just more annoying king slime.
