These seasonal jobs run the gamut. Think temporary cashiers, gift wrappers, sales associates, greeters, merchandisers, warehouse unloaders, delivery drivers. But the quintessential and most iconic seasonal worker has got to be Santa Claus. In addition to sliding down chimneys to deliver presents on Christmas, Jolly Old Saint Nicholas takes gigs at places like malls, department stores, corporate events, and private parties in the weeks leading up to Dec. 25.

New research from The Accountancy Partnership has revealed that there was a 23% increase in Google searches for the term 'Christmas temp jobs' this September compared to September 2024. Typically, searches for this rise over October and November, showing that Brits are looking to secure festive income earlier than ever. The study also shows a dramatic long-term rise in job-seeking behaviour around the festive period.
