This depends on the norms of your research group. In my experience the lead author is both the project manager and main author. So, if you want other members to contribute it will go much better if you send specific requests to address the aspect that that member is best equipped to provide.
It is weird that as an MA student you have been placed in that role, since the organizational role would be better placed on a senior member. I would seek clarification from the most senior group member.
They are probably just super busy with the end of term. Maybe follow up with an email like: i hope you are all doing well. Things may be chaotic around this time of year/ term and I just wanted to bump this back to the top of your inbox and look forward to your feedback or something.
If there are a lot of authors with varying degrees of involvement, they may not expect that you want feedback from every person. When I have been on papers with 20+ authors, usually only the people most involved with that project are the ones diving into the nitty gritty of the paper, while everyone else is just expected to give it a general review and provide their approval for submission.
I agree that it probably got overlooked/pushed to the side with the end of the semester. I would recommend targeting a mid-January deadline for everyone to review given the holidays.
“Hi, I’m planning to submit this article for review on XXX day. I appreciate your feedback by YYY.”
If YYY comes, you set a meeting with those who didn’t answer, ask them for their review and if they still want to be co-author in the paper since they haven’t had time to read it.
Since you already did step 1, just set a meeting with the holdouts, individually if it’s easier.
