Santa Claus is coming to town! In case you did not realize this, we have to inform you: Christmas is already around the corner. And we do not just remind you to buy your gifts, we also remind you that you can also bet on this holiday. Place your bet on the official Christmas gift of the year – in fact, the odds are already available! If you have been going around malls lately, you have probably seen that they are full of garlands, lighting chains, pine trees, Santa Claus figures, and other festive decorations. Also, if you are watching television, you could have seen all the advertisements reminding you: Christmas is coming. It is still many weeks away, but as we can see, the commercial world believes that we cannot start the celebration – or more like the shopping – early enough. However, if you are a gambler yourself, you might find this time of the year exciting for other reasons. Namely: this is the only time when you can bet on the Christmas gift of the year with the odds given by bookmakers! And yes, the odds are already here, thanks to 1xBet! But what is this tradition? When did it start? And what can we expect this year? Let us dive into that!

A Tradition From Sweden

“The Christmas Gift of the Year or Christmas Present of the Year (Swedish: Årets julklapp) is a kind of "award" given to a special product each year by the Swedish Retail Institute, in time before Christmas” – says Wikipedia about the tradition. It has also been around for decades, they gave away the first award in 1988. (In that year, guess what won! It was a simple breadmaker. )

Now, that Sweden has been choosing the Christmas gift of the year for more than thirty years, we can say that it gained popularity all over the world. Nothing says that better than the fact, that today you can find the odds on the Christmas gift of the year on online sportsbook sites in Canada. And we understand that: it is exciting, festive, and not at all easy to predict. So, if you are in, let us see the odds!

Previous Winners

It is hard to say what counts to be a “special” product. It can almost be anything significant from the actual year. As we mentioned before, the first award went to a bread machine. But let us see some other winners from the more recent years! In 2020 the winner was a portable stove – which is surely a good thing when you are camping. We could have anticipated something in connection with the ongoing Covid-pandemic, like masks, hand sanitizer, and stuff.

But this is the thrill of it! In 2019 it was a box for mobile phones, in 2018 it was recycled undergarments and in 2017 it was an electric bicycle. Do you see now, where we are going with this? It is almost impossible to predict the winner of the Christmas gift of the year, but the odds might help.

The Christmas Gift of the Year Odds

So, if you check out online sportsbook sites in Canada, you might find some more information on the topic. Because as we mentioned above, sites like 1xBet already have odds on it! But what do their bookmakers think about the possible frontrunners? Well, for now, the first one is a ticket to an event with the odds of 5, which can be a good guess, since people were dying to get out of the house and go places. The second frontrunner is a backpack with the odds of 7, followed by puzzle (8), slippers (10), water bottler (12), and a board game (13). You just have to decide!
