Americans share a love for the silver screen. But when it comes to holiday movies, there are a select few that states adore more than any other.
Earlier this month, CableTV.com released a list of each state's favorite holiday movie. "We took top-rated holiday movies as ranked by viewers over at AMC (American Movie Classics)," the website said. "Then, we cross-referenced them with Google Trends state data from the past decade to see which holiday favorites were most likely to pop up on TVs in your town."
