BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 21: Christmas candy and candy canes stand on display for sale at the Christmas market at Gendarmenmarkt square on the market's opening day on November 21, 2011 in Berlin, Germany. Christmas markets, which usually sell Christmas tree ornaments, gluhwein, ginger bread and hand-made crafts, are an intrinsic part of central European Christmas tradition.

According to a new study, we’ll spend a total of $1.93 BILLION on Christmas candy this year. And people in every state will spend their share differently.
The study found the most popular Christmas candy in every state, and here are the results . . .
1. Red and green M&M’s are the top candy in eight states. Christmas Pez dispensers and candy also took eight states.
2. The most traditional Christmas candies finished close behind. Candy canes won seven states, and peppermint bark won four states.
3. “Reindeer corn,” which is the candy corn industry’s way of staying relevant for an extra month, somehow won in Alabama, Michigan, and Utah.
4. And bravo to North Dakota. They’re the only state that decided the best way to celebrate Christmas is to bite the heads off of chocolate Santas.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
