Check out the map of each state's Christmas candy of choice down below! Here's some of the key findings and a few random trivia bits for you:
- M&M's and Pez both tied for the lead, having the most sales in eight states each.
- Traditional Christmas favs finished in a close second, with candy canes reigning in seven states, and peppermint bark taking four.
- "Reindeer corn" (AKA the candy corn industry's way of staying relevant for an extra month) took the surprising lead in Alabama, Michigan, and Utah.
- Approximately 150 million chocolate Santas are made every year!
- The biggest candy cane in the world was 51 feet long and made in Switzerland.
