PHOENIX — There are many places in Arizona to spend the most wonderful time of the year, and a personal finance website has ranked which are the best.

According to WalletHub, Tucson is the best big city in the state to celebrate Christmas this year.

WalletHub put together the rankings by comparing the 100 most populated cities in the country based on five key dimensions: traditions and fun, observance, generosity, shopping, and cost.

Tucson came in at No. 41 overall in the nation. Scottsdale (No. 42 overall) was the second-best Arizona city, followed by Phoenix (No. 65 overall), Chandler (No. 75 overall), Mesa (No. 82 overall), Gilbert (No. 83 overall) and Glendale (No. 91).

Chandler was seventh-best in the nation for cost, while Tucson was ninth-best and Gilbert came in at No. 11.

Scottsdale was top-20 for both generosity and shopping.

The best city in the nation to spend Christmas this year is Atlanta, Georgia, according to WalletHub, while the worst is Las Vegas, Nevada.
