While a traditional roast dinner remains the most popular Christmas Day meal in Ireland, a recent survey reveals that 42% of people have no plans for turkey. New trends like watching Christmas films, exchanging presents on Christmas Eve, and sending festive messages on social media are also gaining popularity. Despite the cold weather, 4% of respondents are opting for a barbeque, while others are escaping to warmer climates.
Only 58 per cent of Irish people say they plan to enjoy a classic turkey or roast dinner on Christmas Day, while some will opt to have a barbeque, a survey has revealed.
Twenty-nine per cent of people opt to exchange presents on Christmas Eve. While sending Christmas cards might not be as popular as it once was, 42 per cent still send them to their loved ones. Wearing festive jumpers and jazzy Christmas pyjamas is still relatively popular, with 28 per cent saying it’s important to them. Only 6 per cent will hang mistletoe in their home, while 15 per cent will drink festive mulled wine.
Those in Connacht and Ulster are the most generous, as they love giving presents and pulling Christmas crackers. The survey was conducted by Lottoland as its famous Spanish €2.7 billion Christmas lottery will take place on December 22.
