Across the country, holiday traditions<\/a> look wildly different. For many families, the holidays officially begin the moment a treasured Christmas movie flickers onto the screen. Some families go for slapstick, some prefer heartwarming nostalgia.<\/p>\n

A new survey from PixlParade<\/a> has mapped the most beloved Christmas movie in every state, revealing unexpected favorites from coast to coast, including a distinctly nostalgic choice in the Heart of Dixie.<\/p>\n

PixlParade surveyed nearly 2,000 adults nationwide, asking them to pick their favorite Christmas movie from the last 50 years.<\/p>\n

What is the most popular Christmas movie in Alabama?<\/h2>\n

Forget the over-the-top holiday chaos, Alabamians seem to prefer Ralphie Parker’s quest for a Red Ryder BB gun and all the awkward, hilarious moments that come with it. A Christmas Story (1983) received 31.91% of the vote in PixlParade’s survey, making it the most popular Christmas movie in Alabama.<\/p>\n

It’s a movie full of nostalgia, family fun and enough “You’ll shoot your eye out!” warnings to make anyone smile.<\/p>\n

What is the most popular Christmas movie in the U.S.?<\/h2>\n

Across the entire United States, the clear favorite is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989), with 31.02% of Americans naming it their top pick. It’s no surprise that Clark Griswold’s holiday mayhem, tangled lights<\/a> and awkward family moments hit a sweet spot of nostalgia and chaos. While A Christmas Story comes in second, many people still can’t help but root for the Griswold clan’s hilariously disastrous attempt at “the hap-hap-happiest Christmas.”<\/p>\n

What are the top 10 most popular Christmas movies in the U.S.?<\/h2>\n
