When Santa comes to town the market starts to rally. It’s happened 24 out of the last 27 years and this year these 7 stocks are the best buys in the market right now.

Santa Claus is coming to town in a few weeks. Granted, many of us stopped believing in the jolly man decades ago, Wall Street still believes in him.

What’s known as the Santa Claus rally has proven to be a trend worth betting on, where December is historically a great month to own stocks.

For the month of December, over the last 65 years, the S&P 500 has been up 1.7% on average, making it the best performing month of the year for the index. And over the last 27 years, from December 16th to year-end, the S&P 500 has been up 24 times.

One way to profit from this Santa rally is to piggyback on the trend known as “window dressing.” This is where hedge funds and mutual funds dump their losing stocks and buy winners during December. They do this to ensure the holdings in their annual publications look “good.”

So, while it’s a marketing ploy to some degree, it still means a boom for certain stocks, where stocks that are already up big for the year could get an extra boost around Christmas.

With that in mind, Santa won’t disappoint this year. Here are the top three places to capitalize on window dressing and capture as much of the Santa Claus rally as possible.

No. 1 Place To Find Window Dressers: On A Roll

Investors and money managers will be looking to add stocks that have been on a roll of late and where they assume their momentum will carry over to the New Year. The two stocks below have handily beat the market this year and are up 20% over the last three months.

Meaning — they’ll look good in any portfolio and should do well for the Santa rally.

First up is Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), which is part of the big tech companies that have been handily outperforming the market this year.

Alphabet did a lot this year, including changing its name from Google, to help secure its position among must own big tech stocks. Then there’s the fact that branding advertising is becoming more effective, pushing online ad spending higher. Alphabet owns the online ad market but also has a stronghold on the smartphone market with Android. The company really is a cash generating machine.
