Holiday retail refers to the period during the year when consumers increase their shopping activities in preparation for various celebrations, such as Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's. This season typically begins in late November and extends through December, with many retailers offering special promotions and discounts to attract customers. During this time, both physical stores and online platforms see a significant rise in sales. Popular items often include gifts, decorations, and seasonal products. Retailers often hire additional staff to manage the increased demand and enhance customer service during this busy shopping period.
