After a tumultuous few years, the 2023 holiday season marked a resurgence of Christmas spirit and traditions. Despite economic challenges, consumers rallied – with Christmas grocery sales up 7% over 2022.
As we look ahead to Christmas 2024, key food trends are emerging.
Number one is the continued growth of Mulled Wine. Historically an occasional festive indulgence, mulled wine popularity has skyrocketed. Consumer demand jumped from just 15% in 2010 to 35% in 2023.
Driving this Mulled Wine renaissance is Smoked Bishop, which is revolutionising the traditional Victorian “Smoking Bishop” recipe. With beautifully designed, plastic-free packaging and convenience from easy-to-use 100% compostable pyramid spice bags, Smoked Bishop delivers superb flavour and sustainability.
