Retailer gets hot, confusing bear and reindeer (11)
I believe the answer is:
haberdasher
'retailer' is the definition.
(I know that haberdasher is a type of shopkeeper)
'hot confusing bear and reindeer' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'confusing' is an anagram indicator.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'reindeer' becomes 'dasher' (name of one of Santa Claus reindeer).
'bear' with letters rearranged gives 'aber'.
'h'+'aber'+'dasher'='HABERDASHER'
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for haberdasher that I've seen before include "Dealer in small items used in sewing" , "Shop frequented by dressmakers" , "Clothier" , "may do business on the high street?" , "Dealer in sewing items etc" .)
