Study shows that Canadians want to prepare a meal that creates holiday memories, but don't want to miss out on the special moments

(Brampton, December 12, 2018) - The holidays are approaching and although it’s the most magical time of the year, it can also be the most stressful one. With almost half* of Canadians preparing to entertain 10 or more people this holiday season, Canadians can find themselves struggling to balance the time spent in the kitchen making meals, with the time spent with family and friends, making memories.

Hosting these gatherings can take a lot of time and energy. According to a recent survey conducted by Loblaw Companies Limited*, 62 percent of Canadians would rather spend less time prepping, and more time enjoying. Now more than ever, we want our holiday meals deliciously simple.

About the Loblaw Companies Limited Survey:

From October 17th to October 18th 2018 an online survey of 1,525 randomly selected Canadian adults who are Maru Voice Canada panelists was executed by Maru/Blue. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of this size has an estimated margin of error (which measures sampling variability) of +/- 2.5%, 19 times out of 20. The results have been weighted by education, age, gender and region (and in Quebec, language) to match the population, according to Census data. This is to ensure the sample is representative of the entire adult population of Canada. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding.
