Christmas - Fewer rental Santas than before corona
During the coronavirus pandemic, some agencies have stopped placing Santa Clauses for hire. At the Hanover employment agency, for example, the reason was a shortage of skilled workers. "Our Santas were severely restricted during the coronavirus period and still are - due to their age. They are therefore unable to visit families," said an agency spokesperson. There have also been no new serious applications.
For years, students were also employed as Santa Clauses and Santa wives, placed by the student unions. But there were fewer and fewer every year. In 2019, however, only three of the 57 student unions nationwide still provided Santas. The Deutsches Studierendenwerk does not know whether all of them have since dropped out.
However, demand in some places is not yet at the level it was before the coronavirus pandemic. "Booking behavior is restrained," said Petra Henkert from the Zeuthen Christmas Office in Brandenburg.
