The holidays are here and that means one thing: it’s time to curl up with hot cocoa and watch some Christmas movies! But with so many options to choose from, how do you decide which ones to watch?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a Minnesota-based Christmas movie expert, I decided to let our state’s Google searches do the choosing for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I compiled a list of the greatest Christmas films of all time and analyzed the search volume data for each using Google Keyword Planner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then compared interest over time in Google Trends to see which movies Minnesota was searching for the most right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results show some classic favorites as well as a few more recent hits. Read on for the top 5 most-googled Christmas movies in Minnesota this year along with some commentary from me on why locals just can’t get enough of these holiday flicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comedic tale of young Ralphie Parker’s quest to get a BB gun for Christmas, complete with the iconic leg lamp and triple dog dare tongue-on-a-flagpole scene, is a staple for many families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While not specifically set in Minnesota, Minnesotans still can’t help but look up their favorite moments from this quotable classic each holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No doubt they’re trying to settle debates on things like whether it really was an icicle Ralphie stuck his tongue on or confirming how the Old Man infamously mispronounces “fragile” when referring to the leg lamp as “fra-gee-lay.” Sorry to settle this one, Minnesota – but it’s actually “fra-gil.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This star-studded dramedy brings serious dysfunctional family holiday drama as Sarah Jessica Parker’s uptight character meets her boyfriend’s quirky family for the first time on Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems many Minnesotans are drawn to the relatable (and hilarious) reality of dealing with family tension and expectations during the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or perhaps locals are looking up where to stream this one as they gear up for their own awkward family gatherings this season? Either way, The Family Stone brings the festive family friction in a way Minnesotans just can’t resist looking up year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As someone who knows a thing or two about the North Pole’s most famous resident, I can understand why Minnesota families constantly google this comedy starring Tim Allen as a dad who accidentally causes Santa’s death and finds himself taking over the red suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the real North Pole just a quick sled ride away up in the arctic circle, Minnesotan kids likely beg to watch The Santa Clause every Christmas to see if their house makes an appearance in the film’s take on Santa’s magical winter wonderland. Fair warning though – don’t expect accurate geographical depictions in this one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adults seem drawn to revisiting Tim Allen’s hilarious take on suddenly becoming Old Saint Nick as well. And who knows, maybe some Minnesotans are even searching for conspiracy theories on whether this fantastical tale is actually rooted in fact! After all, we do have plenty of reindeer farmers across the state already primed to one day fly that sleigh…<\/p>\n\n\n
