Firsts, grown-up breaks, coiling equinoxes hatching.
Holidays burning, common camping, beaches bright.
A butternut's harvest-time, bumblebees come falling.
Following chill, frozen ice-carpets evoke Christmas.

The riddle ...
... describes and hides the four seasons.
All words start with letters from A to I. The first word, "firsts" refers to the first blossoms in spring, but it is also ba a hint towards the significance of the first letters. Now take the first letter from words that start with an A, the second from words that start with a B, and so on, to get:
Firsts, grown-up breaks, coiling equinoxes hatching. → spring
Holidays burning, common camping, beaches bright. → summer
A butternut's harvest-time, bumblebees come falling. → autumn
Following chill, frozen ice-carpets evoke Christmas. → winterVery nice. I don't know what to make of the title, though.
