Do You Love Arizona’s Favorite Christmas Song?
There is so much that goes into making Christmas the most magical time of year, and nothing is pulling its weight quite like the music of the season.
So much of the holiday is based around the Christmas classics that make their way out of the vault, and everyone has that one track that instantly makes them feel like a kid again. So, what's Arizona's favorite?
What is America's Favorite Christmas Song?
I, for one, am shocked with the results of this list. Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You only takes the top spot in two states, New Jersey and Wisconsin, far lower than I would have expected for a song that big.
No, America's favorite Christmas song is older, much older. That would be the 1850 hit Jingle Bells, whos iconic melody has been covered and interpolated over the years, leading 14 states to claim it as their favorite.. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow takes the second spot, taking the lead in six different states.

What's Arizona's Favorite Christmas Song?
While many of America's favorite holiday classics come from the late 19th to early 20th century, Arizona's is a bit more contemporary. That would be the 1984 smash hit Last Christmas by pop duo Wham!
The song took over the charts in the mid-80s, and continues to be a Christmas favorite into the modern day, with states like Michigan and Utah joining Arizona's love for the synth-pop, feel-good holiday hit of the season.
I can't even lie, it probably cracks the top of my list too.
