That is possible : But it is also possible that you have developed an allergy to something. It is also not unreasonable to think of gastroesophageal reflux disease that can cause reflux of the gastric fluid into the back of your throat which can then go down into your lungs and cause significant coughing spells. Please see your family doctor to have this addressed further. Best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season.
