Christmas markets have become a staple of the festive season, with their twinkling lights, mulled wine, and endless shopping opportunities, so last month we asked how people really feel about them.
For 38% of those surveyed, Christmas markets strike the perfect balance of a festive way to gather with friends and soak up the atmosphere, but without overspending. Christmas markets are a highlight of the season for 21%, who delight in indulging in the treats on offer.
33% take a more neutral stance; they don’t mind the markets but aren’t going to go out of their way to visit one. Just 8% say “bah, humbug!” to Christmas markets altogether, choosing to avoid them entirely.
| Will you be visiting a Christmas market this year? | Results |
I don’t mind them as it’s a festive way to get friends together, but will avoid spending too much money there | 38% |
I have nothing against them, but won’t go out of my way to attend | 33% |
Yes, I love them and will absolutely enjoy the atmosphere | 21% |
No – I do not enjoy them at all | 8% |
Now that the festivities are over for another year, it’s time to get back on track financially, so we’d like to know how you plan to save money this year. Let us know here.
