Use a macro.
Have your main program look up that data before running the template and
pass it in as part of the template data. Then make a macro for
dropdowns, which accepts a parameter of the data to display.
[% MACRO dropdown %]
[% FOREACH option = options %]
<option value="[% option.id %]">[% option.name %]</option>
[% END %]
[% END %]
[% INCLUDE dropdown options=months %]
