QUINCY, Mass., Dec. 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While the holidays will be different this year, a recent survey conducted by Stop & Shop found customers plan to keep their seasonal traditions alive. The survey, which debated favorite food items and traditional holiday celebrations, most notably solved the great pecan debate with 80% of respondents citing they pronounce the traditional pie as “pee-CAN” as opposed to “puh-kahn.”
Stop & Shop’s holiday survey also revealed:
- While ‘pe-CAN’ pie maybe be a classic holiday dessert, 70% of participants prefer cookies over pies.
- To wash down those cookies, respondents’ go-to holiday cocktail will be Baileys and hot chocolate (51%), followed by mimosas then coquito.
- Despite the line-up of holiday love stories on Lifetime and all the holiday baking challenges, nostalgic films are still the fan-favorite with 60% of participants preferring to watch timeless classics including “Home Alone” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
- 70% of respondents said they have been “nice” this year. Hopefully, Santa was watching!
- Of those who put up a Christmas tree, 70% will decorate the whole tree. Even if no one will see the back, it will still be adorned with ornaments.
For the 70% of consumers who prefer cookies over pie, Stop & Shop has some unique recipes to offer this year like White Chocolate - Peppermint Dutch Cocoa Cookies, 4-Ingredient Butter Cookies and Latke Cookies at www.stopandshop.com.
