🎄 Christmas in Retail: Real, Tough, and Joyous! 🎄

Ever wondered what Christmas is really like behind the counters, in the stockrooms, and on the shop floor? This special RETAIL101 episode takes you deep into the heart of the holiday season in retail. From chaotic busy days to heartwarming moments with customers, we explore both the challenges and the joys of working through the most festive—and stressful—time of the year.

We’ll also look back at the history of Christmas in retail, from the rise of department stores in the 19th century to today’s shopping frenzy. And, of course, we dedicate a huge thank you to all the seasonal employees who make the magic happen for millions of shoppers.

Whether you work in retail, manage a store, or just want to understand the human side of the holiday season, this episode is for you.

✨ In this episode you’ll discover:

• What makes Christmas retail so uniquely challenging
• The joy and camaraderie that comes with the season
• The history of Christmas shopping and how it shaped retail
• Stories from real retail employees on the front lines
• A special thank you to seasonal staff who keep the wheels turning

We’re launching this episode a week early for Christmas, and we’ll be back with Series 3 starting January 7th, 2025!
