DETROIT, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Americans are bracing for yet another turbulent holiday season. With increased gasoline prices, airfare, and cost of goods plus lingering pandemic concerns and travel disruptions, many families find themselves unable or unwilling to travel. And long-distance travelers will be hit hardest.
“Rising demand means fliers will pay the price at the ticket counter: airfare costs around Thanksgiving time are up 43% from last year and 22% from 2019 levels,” according to TIME. “This will probably be one of the most expensive holiday periods ever,” warns the Seattle Times. “For the Christmas travel season, domestic airfares will rise 31% from 2019.” Additionally, staffing shortages and winter weather will result in longer airport lines and increased delays.
What are home-bound families to do? Resorting to shipping overpriced, uninspired gifts lacking creativity just isn’t a memorable option. “This year, demand for personalized, authentic Santa experiences has increased dramatically as families look for meaningful and magical ways to connect, even from a distance,” according to Dale Gruber, CEO of PackageFromSanta.com, the leading provider of highly personalized, realistic Santa experiences using high-quality materials and sophisticated audio and video personalization tools.
