MACY'S #SANTAPROJECT MOVEMENT

New York, NY -The Santa Project conducted national quantitative research among over 1,000 adults ages 18+ (including over 300 parents who have children under the age of 18 living at home) investigating the importance of belief in Santa and the current state of belief across the country.

According to the recent Ipsos survey, two out of three people with kids in the home (66 percent) think it is important to believe in Santa (54 percent for all U.S. adults). However, 44 percent of U.S. adults think that belief is going down, versus just 8 percent who think it is rising.
