POPULAR CHRISTMAS FILM LOCATIONS TO VISIT IN THE UK

In November, 2022, our pals over at Evan Evans Tours published a list of the most popular Christmas film locations in the UK. In order to do this, though, they ranked these locations by calculating a total score for each one based on four online sources. This included IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, where they obtained the rating for each Christmas film featuring said location, as well as Tripadvisor and Instagram, where they obtained the number of Tripadvisor reviews and Instagram hashtags each physical location generated.





What now follows is a top ten list highlighting their findings, along with a map link to each film location, a video clip of each film, as well as the aforementioned sources.
