Culture and Society

About a third of the public celebrates the season by wearing festive holiday attire, leaving up decorations past January 1st, and giving gifts to their pets. Just over half will stay up past midnight to ring in 2026.

Only 12% favor the current system of changing the clocks twice a year. Fifty-six percent prefer daylight saving time all year and 42% prefer standard time.

Halloween celebrations dropped after the pandemic, but two-thirds still plan to celebrate this year. Parents are especially likely to take part.
