Our Holiday Bites series for 2024 spotlights proprietary survey data and analysis for the end-of-year holiday season.

This series covers US consumer expectations for holiday spending, the shape and scale of demand, and trends in shopper behavior during the holidays.

In this graphic, we highlight expectations related to travel. Discover US consumers’ plans to take and spend on out-of-town trips—in total, and broken down by age.

Methodology: Insights in the Holiday Bites series draw on findings from online surveys of US consumers aged 18+, conducted by Coresight Research. The data in this graphic are informed by an October 2024 survey of 2,001 respondents who typically spend on the holiday season. At a total level, the results have a margin of error of +/- 2%, at a 95% confidence level.
