Everyone has different ways of celebrating holidays. We just wrapped up our Valentine’s Day festivities across New York State, and New Year’s and Christmas aren’t too far out of sight of our rearview.

Betway looked at the year-round birth rates in all 50 states to determine which holidays seem to lead to an uptick in births nine months later. In other words, which national holidays spark the biggest baby boom?

Their research showed that overall, the highest months for babies to be born across the country are in August and September, leading some to believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are the most popular holidays to make a baby. However, July also saw many babies being born across the US, so it looks like Halloween is also a popular holiday for future parents to, um, hang out (if you catch our drift).

We bet this number will be much higher next year, thanks to the snow that kept many New Yorkers cooped up inside this winter. That said, 0.923 babies are born per 1,000 people in New York State nine months after the winter holidays.
