The holiday season is here. As we all make preparations for our celebrations, whatever form they may be taking this year, Offers.com decided to conduct a survey about the most popular holiday traditions. The survey looked at which desserts Americans like the best, as well as which holiday movie is the most beloved.
The data was collected from a Google survey of 1,000 U.S. adults conducted between Oct. 30 and Nov. 3, 2020. Not only did Offers.com discover that Pumpkin Pie is Americans' favorite holiday treat and that Home Alone is the favorite holiday movie by just 1%, the survey also revealed that 59% of Americans plan to celebrate Christmas with a small group of 10 people or less due to COVID-19. Another 17% of respondents said they plan to celebrate with family and friends virtually over Zoom, while 14% still plan to celebrate with a large group of 10 people or more.
