IF this is your favourite time of year then you may wish you lived on Reindeer Road or Christmas Pie Avenue.

The Royal Mail has published a list of the UK’s most festive street names, with the above examples joined by the likes of Tinsel Lane and Rudolph Road.

Across the UK, the Royal Mail has worked out there are around 3,400 Christmas themed street names, with the Midlands boasting more than any other region.

Other genuine street names include Myrrh Street, Jingles Lane, Bethlehem Way, Garland Place and Sleigh Drive.

Santa’s reindeers are well represented, with seven of the nine reindeer featured on a street name: Dasher, Dancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Rudolph.

The most common Christmas themed name is Holly Street, which appears nearly 1000 times.

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.” 

The Royal Mail’s full top ten Christmas themed street names is: Holly Street, Bell Lane, Mary Street, Angel Lane, Star Road, Bow Street, Festival Place, Noel Road, Gold Street, Garland Street.

Can you think of any cracking festive place names in Somerset?

We’re aware of Angel Place (shopping centre in Bridgwater) Mistletoe Cottage (near Taunton) and Holly Terrace in Chard – but there must be loads others.
