In the run up to Christmas, the most festive cities in the UK have been revealed - and Manchester has claimed one of the top spots.
York was crowned the most festive city ahead of Christmas 2022, while Edinburgh took the second spot, followed by Manchester in third position. The study, conducted by Hammonds Fitted Furniture, compared a number of Christmassy factors in order to create a list of top destinations for a festive day out.
Whilst the city may have only secured third place, Manchester has the most tagged Christmas market on Instagram, boasting 54.3k posts under the hashtag. The Manchester Christmas light switch on may have been cancelled this year, but people across the nation are still keen to see the decorations around the city, with 880 average searches each month.
