I wondered about that too. I'm going to ask some people at Spotify how they handle Scrum meetings.
But the managers would be free to recreate the scrum meetings on January 2nd. Perhaps the point is that they have to recreate any recurring meeting, which forces them to think if such a meeting is actually needed. Perhaps the goal is to force the managers to think about whether a recurring meeting truly needs to exist. Deleting everything does kill off the meetings that only exist due to inertia.
