That could include caroling, baking your favorite holiday treats, decorating the tree, or watching your favorite holiday movies.

Do Montanans go for the classics like "A Mircle on 34th Street" and "White Christmas"? Or are they a little more contemporary? Then, of course, some enjoy movies that weren't meant to be Christmas movies, like Die Hard.

According to the data, it seems that the "Christmas movie" that the majority of Montanans are googling is...Trading Places. Yep, the 1983 movie starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphey about two men who trade places after a couple of millionaires decide to place a bet is the most googled "Christmas" movie in Montana.

Now keep in mind, that Trading Places isn't actually a Christmas-based movie, but it does include lots of holiday decorations and takes place around the holiday season. Oh, and if you're thinking who in the world picks Trading Places as their favorite Christmas movie, Montana wasn't alone. It seems the film was also the most googled in Pennsylvania as well.
