There’s no arguing that dessert is the best part of every meal. Honestly, there is nothing like a delicious holiday dessert to get you into the Christmas spirit. This year, Zippia used Google Trends to determine was holiday treat each state looked for the most.
How did the Favorite Christmas Dessert by State Survey Work?
Over 40 classic desserts were studied. The list included everything from stocking stuffer peppermint flavored treats to our classic cakes and cookies. Next, the desserts that were searched for (most excessively) were recorded. Surprisingly, the results turned out to be very CHEESEY.
What is the 2020 Favorite Christmas Dessert Winner?
This year, everyone seems to be really loving their cheesecake. According to Zippia, it was the one sweet treat that surprisingly stood out over the rest of the U.S. Pudding, a Kentucky favorite came in second place.

Although The Bluegrass State may have been doing a lot of searches for pudding this year, we’re certainly famous for many other desserts such as Kentucky Derby Pie and Kentucky Butter Cake.
Overall, searches were very high for fudge, peppermint bark, cheesecake, and gingerbread. But some states are serving up more obscure classics than others. Being that the holidays are getting closer, it’s time to start recipe planning!
