If this time of year provides you with a few additional post-holiday chill hours, then you may be interested in Netflix’s most popular shows of the year. The Daily Mail recently featured the most popular Netflix show streamed in each state. It turns out that North Carolina agreed with 17 other states in our stream of choice.

The Daily Mail broke down a visual map by Stats Panda that laid out each state’s favorite show. This was generated by analyzing detailed Google Trends. Looking at this graphic (linked above), The Diplomat immediately jumps out at you, especially across the north as the popular Netflix show. However, North Carolina appears to be the only state in the south to be fixated on this thriller.

The Diplomat Is North Carolina’s Most Streamed Netflix Show

The Diplomat first premiered just seven months ago. It is a drama series stars Kerri Russell and Rufus Sewell. “Amid an international crisis, a career diplomat juggles her new high-profile job as ambassador to the UK and her turbulent marriage to a political star,” Netflix explains.

Other popular series included Kaleidoscope, The Night Agent, and Beef. All of these programs also debuted in 2023. The Night Agent was particularly popular across the southeast. This was the top series in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Equally as fascinating are the Netflix shows that made a single appearance on this list. For example, Rhode Island was the only state that loved 1899 the most. It appears Utah residents were highly intrigued by more a gossip style entertainment. Harry & Meghan was the most streamed show there.

Lastly, NFL football always takes center stage across America. Netflix certainly knows how to lean into this. Their collaboration with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions created one of the most buzzed-about series of the year in Quarterback. However, this was only the most popular Netflix show in North Dakota and Nebraska this year.

North Carolina Has One of the Cheapest Christmas Vacations

Christmas is a time to visit family and friends and get away from the daily grind. The holidays can be a wonderful time, but they can also be very expensive. From buying lots of Christmas gifts for family and friends to having to pay for plane tickets and travel, holiday expenses can really add up. But, the good news is that there are some affordable Christmas vacations in the U.S. that are available for a good deal. Also, North Carolina has one of the cheapest Christmas vacations in America.

One good thing about traveling during the winter months is that it’s often the off-season for popular vacation destinations. Of course, the holidays are a busy travel time. That makes late December a difficult time to find a deal for travel. But, if you don’t mind the cold and snow, some northern areas of the U.S. offer very good deals. That’s true even during the Christmas season.

Some tips for finding a good deal for holiday vacationing include searching a lot of booking websites, comparing different hotel dates to find the most reasonable ones and finding bundle deals. Also, keep your eyes open for special deals on resorts and hotels that are just opening. That’s because sometimes, during those opening months, new vacation spots try to attract a loyal clientele by offering special deals. One more tip is to search for airfare rates individually even if you are traveling as a couple or a group. If you put in a search for a group of tickets, the algorithms will often leave out information on one or two cheaper tickets being available. They’ll just send you a group of tickets, sitting together, all at the same price. So, you might get a deal if you search for one ticket, instead.

So, what are the best affordable Christmas vacations in the U.S.? Here are some popular spots that won’t break the bank. One is in North Carolina.

Cheapest Christmas Vacations in the U.S.

  • Frankenmuth, Michigan

    Frankenmuth, Michigan, is the self-proclaimed Christmas capital city of the world. Okay, so many argue that Strasbourg, France, takes that honor, but Frankenmuth is close, and it’s a lot cheaper to get there. No passport needed. The villiage’s Franconian-style architecture has given it the loving name “Little Bavaria.” Frankenmuth is also home to the world’s biggest Christmas store.
