When is free dining usually offered?

[DisneyBliss7]

Do they usually offer free dining in early December?
Is there a link to show the usual times they offer free dining each year?
Planning our next trip and usually rent DVC points but since we are splitting the cost of our room with my sister I'm the thinking about staying directly through Disney if they are offering free dining.
