Comparitech filled out the U.S. map with each state’s favorite Christmas movie, based on IMDb’s top 50 most popular.
I now encourage some states to turn away:
Props to the great folks of Pennsylvania. Bad Santa is fantastic. Billy Bob Thornton is my favorite Santa yet. Outside of the character Cameron Diaz plays, no one in film is as likable as Thurman Merman.
Bad Santa 2 is also great.
It’s unclear how The Santa Clause didn’t win more states. When it comes on, the rest of your day is done for. Yes, the sequels sucked.
Growing up, I was on team The Year Without a Santa Claus, though How the Grinch Stole Christmas was a close No. 2.
Oh, wow, New York picked Home Alone. Any idea why?
I have no comment on Die Hard, a non-Christmas movie.
OutKick VIP members, what is the best Christmas movie? Comment below:
I have always treated Die Hard and Die Hard 2 as Christmas movies…along with The Long Kiss Goodnight.
The best two Christmas movies are Die Hard and Christmas Vacation. But the single best Christmas movie/show/sketch is Schweddy Balls!
The Santa Claus is solid, but Elf is probably at the top of my list for sure!
Christmas story is the best by far. Though I am partial to the heat and cold miser in Year without a Santa Claus.
Has to be Die Hard. It’s not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off the Nagkatomi Plaza…Then, of course, It’s a Wonderful Life.
Check out “We’re No Angels” from 1955 with Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, and Aldo Ray. It’s excellent. Also, how can New England ignore “The Ref?”
Hands down, the answer is Bad Santa. I’m surprised A Christmas Story isn’t on here. Corny as hell but people love it for some reason.
Cameron Diaz isn’t in Bad Santa.
I was thinking the same thing.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie. It has more Christmas tunes than Bing Crosby’s White Christmas. AND the wife is named Holly.
