METHODOLOGY
- In total, 119 Christmas Movies and 100 Christmas songs were part of the analysis.
- The Google search results focused on the average monthly searches of the past 12 months as well as the month of December 2023 (separately), and they were gathered from Google Keywords Planner.
- The full list of movies and songs that were part of the analysis can be found here.
- In the case of movie/song names with titles of a general nature, we added the keyword "song" / "movie" behind its title to maintain the accuracy of the analysis: for example, for the song Snowman by Sia, instead of "Snowman" we searched for "Snowman song."
