The top ten states with the most Christmas spirit according to research done by CenturyLink. Looks like they use data from Google, online music streams, communication platforms and the IRS to determine their results. See how your state ranks. Methodology To determine which states have the most Christmas spirit, GetCenturyLink.com’s data team analyzed two data categories: online activity and area culture. We used six key metrics: Online Activity Google searches for Christmas movies and gingerbread houses (29%) Online shopping (via Google Shopping Trends) for wrapping paper, Christmas cards, Christmas ornaments, and “Elf on a Shelf” (28%) Christmas music streams (14.5%) Tweets about Christmas (7%) Area Culture Number of Christmas tree farms per capita (7%) Charitable giving in the last documented tax year, as defined by the IRS (14.5%) We finalized our Christmas spirit ranking by calculating the weighted average for each state across all metrics.
