Christmas pudding's popularity wanes as 59% see it as non-essential, despite 92% valuing traditional dinners.

A recent poll by the Royal Mint shows that 59% of people no longer see Christmas pudding as essential for their holiday meal, though 92% still value a traditional Christmas dinner. Only 23% have heard of Stir-up Sunday, the day traditionally set aside for pudding preparation. The Royal Mint is also introducing a sustainable sixpence, made from recycled X-ray silver, with all 100 pieces of the 2024 edition selling out within 24 hours. Festive traditions remain important to 70% of people, with opening presents ranking as the second most popular tradition.
