SALT LAKE CITY — Over the next few days, many of us curl up with our favorite Christmas movies. But which tops the list here in Utah?

A new report from Hub-Score claims Home Alone is the most popular Christmas movie in the state.

The top five movies, according to Hub-Score, are Home Alone, EXmas, Violent Night, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Die Hard.

KSL NewsRadio interviewed a few people on the streets of Salt Lake City to find out what their favorite holiday movie is.

“Home Alone is probably the best,” said Gary at the Jordan Landing Cinemark. “The idea of being home alone and being able to terrorize your house is just a funny thing. You can just be in the moment and that would be, like, your life.”

Utah isn’t the only state where Home Alone ranks number one for Christmas movies. Alabama, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming also favor the movie.

We want to hear from you.
