I told you that there will be more such lists; there is a report that ranks the favorite holiday movies in each state based on a Google search, but this one is limited to the 1990s. Many (if not most) of your favorite holiday classics do not meet the criteria. At least this means that "Last Christmas" is not eligible.

The research was conducted by CenturyLinkQuote, and they did it like this: "We compiled a list of 60 most popular Christmas movies in the 90s based on data collected from PopSugar, Bustle, Ranker, and ScreenRant. Then, we were in Semrush. I found the search volume for each show in, and inserted the 13 most searched shows into Google Trends to see the most searched shows in each state in the past 12 months."

So considering these restrictions, what has been determined to be the most popular 90s holiday movie in New Jersey? That was John Hughes's 1990 classic "Home Alone". If you are a newcomer to the United States, "Home Alone" tells the story of a young Kevin McAllister, who had to support himself after his family went on vacation in Europe and accidentally forgot about him. Two thieves repeatedly tried to break into the house, Kevin must outwit them.

"Home Alone" is also the most searched movie in the other 13 states, making it the overall champion. The second most popular Christmas movie in the 90s in the country is "Jingle Bells", followed by "Santa Claus" and "Nightmare Before Christmas".

For our neighbors in New York and Pennsylvania, "Home Alone" is also the most searched.

Please stay tuned for more movie lists coming soon, I'm sure.
