holiday help

Festive season workers

Holiday help refers to temporary workers hired during peak seasons, especially the stretch from Thanksgiving through New Year's when retail stores need extra staff: The mall is hiring holiday help for the Christmas rush.

The term also applies to seasonal assistance in other contexts—someone brought in to cook for Thanksgiving dinner or help with year-end accounting.
