Thanksgiving is the #1 drinking holiday by volume purchased leading up to the holiday. Then 2. New Years 3. Halloween 4. 4th of July 5. Easter 6. Xmas.
This was several years ago #s but I doubt it’s changed much. Makes sense Turkey Day is #1 bc it’s several days of vacation for all, plus everyone has to be around family so it’s best to drink through that.

Christmas is last? Really?

Cuz while APM does not drink to speak of by the standards of most in le lunge, I DO drink wine with my Christmas dinner. Always. And usually quite a few beers (by my standards) with family over the week between Xmas and New Years. I definitely BUY the most alcohol of the year for me during that week.
I drank Oktoberfest beer this Halloween, but definitely do not always drink on that "holiday".
I may have a beer on the 4th, depending on what we're doing.
I hardly ever drink on New Years. But I get that that's a big drinking holiday. Sparkling wines, etc.

I was always surprised by Xmas last too but based on volume purchased in the few days before

Xmas is just the one day and during middle of week a lot of times. Plus more family’s have Xmas day as a smaller affair like just kids and mom/dad.

Gewurztraminer for dinner. Beers later, if able. Hail yayuh.

APM recommends pairing Gewurtz with the Thanksgiving dinner. Crisp, herbal, off dry, refreshing to the palate. "Good" wine goes wasted on such a feast. Fetzer makes a good one for next to dirt.
Then switch to Sam Adams Boston Lager for football watching, etc. Or Bud Light or Miller Lite.
