Surprise! NYC Misses the Cut for Coziest Christmas
A recent study by BetMGM Casino ranked the coziest US cities for a Christmas getaway, and the results might surprise you. While New York City is known for its extravagant holiday celebrations, it didn't even make the top 5!
The Top 5 Coziest Christmas Destinations
The study, which considered factors like snowfall, accommodation availability, festive events, and temperature, crowned North Pole, Alaska as the coziest Christmas destination. Following closely behind were:
- Park City, Utah
- Denver, Colorado
- Kennebunkport, Maine
- Asheville, North Carolina
New York City, meanwhile, landed in a somewhat disappointing sixth place.
Methodology: More Than Just Lights and Tinsel
BetMGM Casino based its rankings on data from Condé Nast Traveler, analyzing six key factors:
- Snowfall: Average December snowfall for that magical Christmas atmosphere.
- Accommodation: Availability of cabins and bed & breakfasts in December.
- Festive Events: Number of cozy theater shows and Christmas markets.
- Venues: Abundance of ice skating rinks, coffee shops, and shopping centers.
- Nature: Access to parks for snowy strolls.
- Temperature: December chilliness, perfect for cozying up in scarves and gloves.
Least Cozy City?
The study also revealed the least cozy city for a Christmas getaway: Las Vegas, Nevada.
This unexpected ranking highlights that coziness isn't just about festive decorations—it's a blend of weather, atmosphere, and available activities.
