"NRF has surveyed consumers about how they plan to celebrate Easter annually for over a decade. Take a deeper dive into date from the last 10 years."

"The percentage of Americans celebrating has been 80% or more since 2009 before it took its first drop to 79% in 2019. However, despite the slight drop in participants, average expected spending is on the rise. Overall, Americans were thought to spend $151.25 per person for Easter in 2012 (up from $150.05 in 2018). Total expected spending in 2019 was $12.11 billion in the U.S."

"Some of the most popular ways Americans planned to celebrate Easter in 2019 included visiting family and friends (57%), cooking a holiday meal (54%), going to church (49%) and going to a restaurant (16%)."

"More women than men planned to celebrate Easter in 2019 (82% vs. 76%), but men planned to spend more on celebrations than women ($165.78 vs. $137.45). Both genders are heavily motivated by tradition (65%), social activity with family or friends (31%), sales and promotions (31%) and exclusive or seasonal products (21%)."
