According to a new study from CenturyLink, Florida ranks near the very bottom of U.S. states with Christmas spirit.

The Sunshine State, or in this case, the Highly Overcast State, came in No. 47 overall, just ahead of Alaska, Hawaii and Montana.

“For the second year in a row, Florida and Hawaii landed in the bottom five states for Christmas spirit,” the study said. “In fact, seven out of the ten states with the least Christmas spirit are all states with mild or warm winters.”

Despite a tumultuous 2020, Utah, Idaho, and Wisconsin took the top three spots this year. Maybe coincidentally, these are all states that usually have a white Christmas.

The study used ten metrics to determine the rankings, including number of Christmas songs streamed, number of tweets related to Christmas, amount of charitable donations and Google searches for Christmas movies and gingerbread houses.
