Looking to spruce up your Christmas meal this year? How about indulging in some delicacies that are popular in states that aren't your own, perhaps?
RECOMMENDED: You can submit your favorite family recipe to be included in this awesome new exhibit
A new map by Christmas tree site Treetopia actually highlights just that: the most sought-after Christmas dinner recipe in each state. A mere look at the results will surely function as a creative jump point when it comes to working on your holiday menu.
To populate the map, the website took a look at 2019 Google Trends, specifically collecting data "on the popularity of over 35 recipes for traditional Christmas dishes, desserts and drinks."
Overall, sweet potato casserole and roast carrots topped the list as the most popular dishes across the country, each one earning the number one spot in seven different states.
Although certain entries—green bean casserole, Christmas turkey, eggnog and roasted potatoes—didn't surprise us, a slew of others are pretty unexpected. People in New Hampshire, for example, are partial to baked brie while those in New York and Wisconsin indulge in goose and folks in Missouri look forward to devouring crescent rolls.
