Christmas at home, with closest relatives and friends, for over 9 out of 10 Italians. 93% to be precise.
The resurgence of infections and the spread of the Omicron variant has pushed Italians to spend the holidays at home. This is what a Coldiretti / Ixè analysis reveals.
The result is a 38% increase in spending on food compared to last year, for an average value of 113 euros per family, while the home preparation of the main Christmas meal rises to an average time of 2.9 hours. There is also 9% of people who have decided to order take away.
Coldiretti also points out that 3.5 million Italians with the reinforced Green pass return to celebrate Christmas in restaurants, pizzerias and agritourisms, something that last year could not be done. However, we are talking about a figure that is half compared to that of 2019, the pre-pandemic year.
The products most present on the tables: sparkling wine (84%), the panettone with 77% beats the still pandoro at 69%. Both are consumed in combination with local homemade sweets in almost half of the families, 47%.
