Getting the family together to watch holiday movies is one way to get into the Christmas spirit, but deciding on a family favorite can be hard at times.
Instead of one person picking their favorite movie for the family to watch, Preply, a language learning app and e-learning platform, set out to find the most popular holiday movies in the United States.
"The winter season is upon us once more. To help usher in the spirit of the holidays, we wanted to find out which holiday movies are Americans' favorites."
To find each state's most popular holiday movie, Preply looked at data from Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office and Mojo to analyze "keywords related to 115 of the highest-rated and highest-grossing holiday movies of all time."
So, what is the most popular holiday movie among Michigan residents?
The data showed that Michigan had multiple favorites. Those included Elf, Last Christmas, and The Christmas Chronicles.
Elf was favored among nine other states, including Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Last Christmas was the most popular among five other states including, Connecticut, Hawaii, Louisiana, New Jersey and Utah.
The Christmas Chronicles was dubbed the favorite in six other states including, Maine, Missouri, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
