Tomorrow marks two weeks until Thanksgiving. Have you started planning out?

If you have friends and family visiting in from out of town, their expectations might be high because a new study from WalletHub ranked Dallas as the best city to go to for Halloween.

According to CultureMap Dallas, WalletHub compared the 100 largest cities across 18 different metrics, ranking each city based on five main categories: celebrations and traditions; affordability; safety and accessibility; weather forecast; and a "giving thanks" rank.

This is the first time Dallas has ranked No. 1 and appeared at No. 4 on the list last year.

The report said that “Dallas also helps make things festive with an abundance of holiday decoration shops. And if you want to offset the materialism of the following shopping weekend with some charitable giving, Dallas has the 25th-most charities per capita. Finally, Dallas ranks ninth for Thanksgiving weather, making it an even more pleasant place to celebrate the holiday.”

Five other North Texas cities joined Dallas on the list: Plano (No. 12), Arlington (No. 17), Fort Worth (No. 47), Irving (No. 55), and Garland (No. 67).
