The research also found that the Midlands has a total of 560 Christmas street names, more than any other region in the UK.

The ratings came from analysis of Royal Mail’s database of all 29 million UK addresses.

The database also reveals our love for Santa’s Reindeers, with seven of the nine reindeers represented on a street name.

These include: Dasher, Dancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Rudolph.

Steve Rooney, Head of Royal Mail’s Address Management Unit said: 'We decided to find out how well Christmas themes were represented on street names.

The team came up with a number of words closely linked to Christmas, drew up a shortlist and began to investigate.

'We found the Christmas theme was very well represented and we had a lot of fun doing it.'

He added: 'With the Christmas countdown well underway, Royal Mail is reminding people to get their Christmas cards and gifts in the post before the latest recommended posting dates.'

Nothing to do with Christmas but always funny if you're immature like me.

Disappointing they went for "Bell Lane" rather than the more obvious "Bell End".
