    Manchester is the UK’s second most Christmas obsessed city, new research reveals. In Manchester, there are 10,634 Christmas-themed Google searches per 100,000 people.

    The study, by leading SEO platform Ahrefs, analyzed 80 of the most popular Christmas-related keywords, including “Christmas”, “How many days until Christmas”, “Christmas movies”, “Christmas gift ideas”, and “Christmas music”, in every UK city with a population above 100,000 people. This allowed them to calculate which cities had the fewest Christmas-related searches per 100,000 residents, discovering the UK’s top ten ‘Grinch’ cities.

    Tim Soulo, CMO at Ahrefs, commented on the findings:

    “It is fascinating to see how interest in the Christmas season varies from city to city in the UK, with some cities showing comparatively little interest in Christmas, and some showing incredible enthusiasm for all things Christmas-related, from trees and decorations, to cosy Christmas pyjamas and gifts. Search interest can offer us powerful insights into festive trends”
