Meanwhile, Missouri is busy taking the healthy route, searching for vegan Christmas cookies, Wyoming and Arizona are focused on liquid treats, such as hot chocolate and egg nog and the Carolinas are dealing with a fruitcake fascination.
So, how did Zippa come to these conclusions? According to their staff, the company used Google Trends to determine what Christmas treat each state eats a disproportionate amount of.
Zippa says they examined over 40 Christmas classics, such as candies, peppermint snacks and, of course, cookies and cakes. From there, they determined what treat is searched on Google a disproportionately, high amount.
However, Zippa says, in general, search volume is as high as ever across the United States for the classics, such as fudge, peppermint bark, cheesecake and gingerbread.
