How Austria celebrates
For 66% there is no Christmas without a Christmas tree
For 66% of Austrians, a Christmas tree is part of Christmas. In households with children, the figure is 85%. Two thirds do not want to do without an Advent wreath. 71 percent decorate their house and apartment for Christmas. Decorations are particularly popular with women.
The big party needs to be prepared and presents need to be bought. 71 percent of 18-40-year-olds and 60 percent of 40-50-year-olds do this online while lying comfortably on the couch*.
Almost 70% bake cookies
However, there is a clear difference in preferences between young and old when it comes to activities at home. In the 50-plus generation, activities before the festive season decrease significantly. 69 percent of respondents aged between 18 and 40 bake cookies during the Christmas period.
Getting in the mood for the festive season with atmospheric Christmas films is a must for 69% of 30 to 39-year-olds, as well as for 63% of 18 to 29-year-olds. Almost one in two under-30s make Christmas presents - on average, only one in three do.
Ugly Christmas sweaters are booming among boys
Young people also like to make mulled wine and punch (50 percent) and have a soft spot for Christmas sweaters (39 percent). Among the over-50s, only one in ten still do this. Inviting friends over, eating and drinking together is standard practice for almost every second person surveyed between the ages of 18 and 40 and gets them in the mood for the festive season.
Anticipation of the festive season decreases with age
Overall, the generation over 50 is no longer as active with pre-Christmas activities. The most popular activities are the Advent wreath (64%) and decorating the house and apartment (62%) - but here too, fewer people than the Austrian average of 65%. The situation is similar with the Christmas tree, which is a must for 59 percent.

Christmas cleaning has had its day
