Holiday Candy

Holiday shopping is shifting from “let’s go last minute” to “let’s shop early.” In 2022, 60% of consumers admitted to shopping before or in early November (National Retail Federation).

An item that’s on everyone’s list — candy and chocolate.

We all love holiday food traditions. Like a classic song or movie can benefit from a remix or a remake, so too can classic holiday food and candy! Attract customers of every generation by serving up classic holiday traditions with a fresh, modern spin.

Putting a new twist on longtime traditions makes you stand out as a source for cutting-edge trends – during the holidays and beyond. Give those die-hard holiday fans a new way to celebrate (a change in routine is always welcome), and win over new, younger fans too.

We’re tired of this winter vortex. Let’s turn our thoughts to warmer weather, pastels, flowers, and the holiday that’s the Spring-board for the Spring season — Easter! Time to get egg-cited for baskets overflowing with sweet snacks. According the National Confectioner’s Association, 90% of Americans plan to include chocolate or candy in their Easter Baskets. We all know the Easter candy classics every-bunny loves, but do you know how they became a part of Easter tradition?

We decided to do some hunting for the traditions behind these nostalgic Easter basket staples and here’s what we found. Let’s hop to it!

The holiday season is in full swing and, this year, celebrations look a little different. According to data intelligence and custom market research firm, Morning Consult, 74% of Americans say that their holiday get togethers will be downsized this year. A smaller gathering doesn’t necessarily mean less fun. Help your customers create the holiday excitement they are pining for by suggesting holiday candy traditions from around the world. It’s a great way to sweeten this year’s celebrations, and maybe create some new traditions.

Candy is an affordable way to make a big bang. Since 60% of Americans say they will not be traveling this holiday season, according to Travelocity, adding some international flare can help satisfy customers’ jet-setting spirit. Sit back, relax, and get ready for virtual take off as we travel around the world to experience some of the sweetest holiday traditions.
