Report: Seattle named best city to celebrate Christmas in US

SEATTLE — With Christmas right around the corner, Seattle is the best place to be in the U.S., according to a new study from WalletHub.

The website ranked the 100 biggest cities in the U.S. across five key dimensions – Traditions & Fun, Observance, Generosity, Shopping and Cost – and Seattle came out on top.

The study was meant to determine the best place in the country to have a “festive and affordable Christmas,” according to WalletHub.

The Emerald City is followed by Atlanta, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh and Orlando to round out the top five.

Although Christmas is just a few days away, there’s still plenty of ways to spread the holiday cheer in Seattle and across western Washington:

>> Around the Sound: WildLanterns Festival kicks off at Woodland Park Zoo

>> West Seattle home’s Christmas light show draws in hundreds

>> Cougar Mountain Zoo hosting Issaquah Reindeer Festival
