A new study revealed which cities in America are the best places to celebrate Christmas — and the top spot may (or may not) surprise you.
WalletHub released its 2024 list of the most festive and affordable cities in the United States after conducting research across all 50 states in key dimensions: traditions & fun, observance, generosity, shopping, and costs.
Chip Lupo, a WalletHub analyst, said in a press release there are certain cities that are “much better for your wallet” this holiday season.
“In addition to being affordable, the best cities have a large number of people celebrating, plenty of places for Christians to worship, populations who give generously to charity, and plenty of fun activities to enjoy with family and friends,” said Lupo.
