Millions of Americans are gearing up for Christmas celebrations, with many planning to spend time with loved ones and cook food for the holiday.
Nearly three quarters of American consumers celebrating Christmas have plans to get together with family and friends, and 33% will have people over, according to a Numerator survey. It also found 61% intend to cook or bake at their homes for the holiday.
With Christmas quickly approaching, many of those planning to cook are likely readying their grocery lists — and pocketbooks — for the occasion. As a whole, a Christmas meal and gingerbread, a popular holiday treat, will be costlier in the U.S. this year, thanks to popular ingredients experiencing year-over-year price increases, Expana reported.
