seasonals

Holiday-only retail staff

Seasonals are workers hired for a particular season, especially in retail, hospitality, or agriculture: The store brings on seasonals every November.

The term also refers to seasonal products or items—merchandise tied to holidays or weather: We're putting out the seasonals next week.

In finance, seasonals can mean predictable market patterns tied to times of year.
