We take this opportunity to take stock of the Christmas season, following the approach he had given Robert Bernocchi which analyzed the weeks between 7 December and 10 January, in order to make comparisons with comparable periods for weekends and holidays. The numbers for now are decidedly in favor of the 2025-2026 Christmas season which, as demonstrated by the data below, is clearly ahead of the same post-Covid periods (and on par with 2024-2025 in terms of attendance).

• 7-23 December 2025 – 944,352 euros in proceeds
• 7-23 December 2024 – 859,537 euros in proceeds
• 7-23 December 2023 – 24,620,309 euros in proceeds
• 7-23 December 2022 – 24,130,381 euros in proceeds
