Likely was a daytrip = no baggage
Santa flight = high number of kids
Winter = low temps

It probably still went with some sort payload restriction, but as a one-off, the tour operator was probably happy with the risk, and could charge a suitable premium for a single flight.
You need to discount all of the above factors for a sustainable Summer series.
