Seattle is known for rain, tech, and great seafood, Christmas isn’t typically a big thing we associate with the city. However, it looks like that’s changing because WalletHub has released its 2022 list of the best cities for Christmas and Seattle sits on top. Yes, in the first place.

WalletHub looked at the 100 biggest US cities based on 32 key indicators of a festive and affordable Christmas. Some of those indicators included traditions, shopping, and cost.

The top ten best cities for Christmas according to WalletHub are as follows:

1. Seattle, Washington

2. Atlanta, Georgia

3. Las Vegas, Nevada

4. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia

5. Orlando, Florida

6. St Louis, Missouri

7. Honolulu, Hawaii

8. Cincinnati, Ohio

9. New York, New York

10. Washington DC

Apparently, coastal Christmas beats out the old-world charm of New England this year. Seattle ranked highly for its generosity (#1), traditions & fun (#9), and shopping (#17). We also came in 5th place for online giving per capita which only makes sense considering our city is the birthplace of Amazon. All in all, we had a score of 61.38 which isn’t too shabby.

Merry Christmas Seattle, remember you can keep the giving spirit year-round.
