It's never too soon to start watching Christmas movies, we want to feel holly and jolly and bright as much as possible, no?

With that, I have to ask the question: which holiday movies are North Dakotans watching most?

Elf? Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? Love Actually? -- There are so many to choose from.

North Dakota's Favorite Christmas Movie 2022

A study was done by a company called Preply to find the most popular Christmas movie in each state for 2022. The source looked at search trends on 115 different holiday movies to find out what everyone loves to watch.

As it turns out, there were a couple favorites in North Dakota. Our state tied two films: The Santa Clause and Frosty the Snowman. Do you think this is right?

On another note: I was actually surprised that only 3 states chose The Nightmare Before Christmas as their favorite. I suppose it's not quite as warm and cozy as the others.

Binge List

I'm a crazy person that likes to make a list of movies I want to binge during different holiday seasons. I plan out which ones are a must-watch. Don't judge.

Now that I've seen this list of movies, I feel a challenge coming on. I wonder how many I can watch in the month of December. Only one way to find out!
