Your segment's Christmas trends in 2020
1 - DIY baking kits
As Christmas is traditionally a busy time in the kitchen, convenience is of major importance for many consumers. Baking kits provide this in two ways. One way is the all-in-one concept, which means consumers spend less time looking for ingredients. Most baking kits include decorations and food colorants for a festive result. Moreover, they also provide simple instructions, which almost guarantee good results, even for less experienced home bakers.
2 - Chocolate decoration kits
Once again, convenience is key. With chocolate decoration kits, consumers can create a showpiece in just seconds. Most chocolate decoration kits are designed to clip together in order to create a 3D structure. They can be used to decorate cakes and desserts, but also serve as home decorations that can be devoured after Christmas dinner.
3 - Christmas sprinkles and decorations
Christmas toppings are a favorite with consumers, and with good reason. Whether they are colorful sprinkles or finely crafted chocolate pieces, they bring a festive touch to cookies, cakes and even desserts and ice cream. With a variety of shapes and colors, a Christmas sweet is just a piece of chocolate away!
