This holiday season,
Hotels.com® is giving the gift of
peace (and quiet!) by launching an exclusive discount rate for
millennials in need of a break from overwhelming family fun. The
50% off XmasEscape rate has been designed to help the 168 million
single millennials1 worldwide who'll be surrounded by
smothering parents and their coupled-up family members over the
holidays. This special rate can be claimed on select rooms at
Hotels.com on December 25, as
according to new research, twenty-somethings confess they're ready
to escape their homes by 2:01 p.m. on
Christmas Day.
'Tis the season to be reminded that you're single! Hotels.com's
new research shows boomers will spend three hours harassing their
non-conforming relatives about their inept "adulting" this
Christmas. Over a quarter of North American millennials (36%) said
their single status was one of the top critiques from family
members.
Being unattached at Christmas doesn't just mean continuous
family judgement. Other struggles for millennials include being
surrounded by relationships, feeling left out of the romance and
gross public displays of affection ― enough to bring out any
resting grinch face.
On the flip side, most of these singles are indeed happy with
their relationship status. Topping the list of the best bits of
flying solo at Christmas include being able to spend their time
exactly how they please, having no responsibilities, and having one
less person to buy a present for.
It takes less than 48 hours for these young adults to be ready
to run screaming out the front door. Hotels.com research predicts
that 2:01 p.m. on Christmas Day is
the moment they will have had enough of the family festivities,
with over half (52%) admitting they dread the inevitable small talk
about their relationship status that comes with the territory of a
family holiday gathering.
Hotels.com is championing naughty and nice, single and proud
millennials with the XmasEscape Rates. The discount
code XMASESCAPE is designed for all the happy singles who could do
with a little seasonal solo R&R. The single-exclusive rates can
be claimed on December 25 for
same-day stays ― just when everything is getting a bit much.
"This holiday season, Hotels.com doesn't want you to drop major
funds on a much-deserved seasonal escape," shared shared
Adam Jay, President
of Hotels.com. "We're here to give the gift of 'me time' with
our #XmasEscape Rates allowing all those out there who are
#SingleAF to have the selfish and bright celebration of their
dreams."

Notes to Editors

behaving in a traditionally "grown-up" way. For example, "grown up"
could be having a stable job, owning a home / having a mortgage,
having kids, having a stable relationship etc.
