D.C.'s favorite Christmas movie? "Trading Places."
It’s officially the season of giving, hot chocolate, and snow, which means that your movie playlist will change -- from your typical favored genres to stories involving Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and festivity (check out our Hallmark movie drinking game here!).
Streaming Observer teamed up with Mindnet Analytics and used Google trends to come up with a favorite movie for each state. The list may surprise you!
So what's Washington, D.C.'s most-watched Christmas movie? Trading Places.
I was both surprised and not surprised by this choice. I guess Business Insider makes a pretty decent case for why they think it's the best Christmas movie of all time (it's set during the Christmas season with comedy and Christian themes). And since D.C. is a fast-paced, all-too-stressful city, Trading Places actually kind of fits -- it features a commodities broker, and that's a stressful, fast-paced life.
