Holiday Outlook 2025  
A seasonal remix: Value, meaning and generational shifts 

Holiday shopping isn’t playing the same tune this year. PwC’s 2025 Holiday Outlook shows overall spending dipping 5% — the first notable decline since 2020 — with Gen Z cutting budgets by 23%, but baby boomers increasing their spend, and nearly 80% of gift spend happening before Cyber Monday. Travel holds steady. Gift cards top gift lists. And tech — from AI to social media — is reshaping how shoppers discover and decide.
