holiday work
Festive season employment
Work performed during holidays, when most people have time off.
The term often implies either obligation or extra compensation—employees doing holiday work typically receive premium pay.
It can also describe tasks undertaken during vacation periods: I brought some holiday work with me to the beach house.
The phrase sometimes carries a note of resentment about labor intruding on leisure time.
