83 Percent of Americans Have Never Had Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

Outdoor Travel Site Campspot Wants to Help Travelers Make More Delicious Holiday Memories with its 12 Days of Campmas Giveaway

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Contrary to the popular holiday song, the majority of Americans have never experienced chestnuts roasting over an open fire. While more than 80% of Americans are familiar with the famous lyrics, only 17% have actually tried the nostalgic treat*. Campspot, the leading camping travel site, wants to help change that and get families outdoors with their 12 Days of Campmas giveaway.

Starting December 1, participants can visit www.campspot.com/about/campmas to enter to win 12 days of prizes revealed each day and gifted in collaboration with top outdoor brands, including camping gear, accessories, and tech. The giveaway will culminate in a final drawing on December 16 for the Outdoor Adventure Grand Prize selected from all contest entries. One lucky recipient will receive $2500 in Campspot and travel credits, as well as a 6-piece outdoor cooking set- complete with chestnuts for roasting, of course. With the average camping trip costing less than $500, that's enough to bring the whole family along.

"Our Campspot Outdoor Almanac data showed that 77% of campers would prefer to be given an outdoor experience over a nice gift," said Erin Stender, CMO at Campspot. "As a team of camping enthusiasts ourselves, we wanted to help people create their own special outdoor memories this holiday season. We thought, what could be more fun than winning an amazing trip and making delicious new traditions while gathered around a campfire?"
