SINGAPORE, December 21, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As the year winds down, another Christmas season is entering our lives again. Like every year, TGM Research has conducted the largest independent Christmas survey across 4 continents and 18 countries. The survey will provide readers with the most interesting insights into how consumers around the world prepare for the most anticipated holiday of the year – their feelings, attitudes, and buying priorities post-pandemic.
TGM Research founder, Greg Laski, commented: "Christmas has gone beyond a Christian celebration. It is now celebrated worldwide as the bearer of glad tidings and merriment that brings people together. It blends with local customs to create new ways of celebrating the holiday. Many prefer to enjoy it uniquely each year. At the same time, some have long-standing customs, leading to complex and diverse perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors of each country's citizens regarding holiday shopping, home decoration, and celebratory activities."
