New consumer research from Go.Compare Energy has discovered that one in six (16%) UK households will not be putting up their Christmas lights this year, to help keep energy bills down. This number has increased by a third since December 2021, when just 12 per cent of people told Go.Compare they would not be decking the halls with lights.
This is the second year that Go.Compare has conducted this survey, in which more than 2,000 people are asked about their plans for Christmas lights. The results for 2022 revealed that a fifth will still be putting up the same number of lights over the festive season, claiming that they won’t be concerned about the bills.
However, this number has almost halved since 2021, when 41 per cent of people said they wouldn’t be cutting back on their lighting plans.
