To break down the most popular holiday traditions per state throughout the country, The Hershey Company, one of the largest chocolate manufacturing companies in the world, conducted a survey to find the top 10 most-popular holiday traditions by state and created a holiday candy pairing guide designed to compliment each activity and further its enjoyment. The survey used was conducted through OnePoll, an international market research agency.
South Carolina’s favorite holiday tradition is to exchange gifts, according to 73% of the survey respondents, who are busy wrapping and embellishing presents for the activity.
