What to Expect on Christmas Day

Christmas Day is deep in winter for most of the US. Average temperatures range from well below freezing in the North to the 60s in southern Florida and the desert Southwest. White Christmases are most reliable in the Northern Rockies, Upper Midwest, and northern New England.

The probability of measurable snow on Christmas Day ranges from over 90% in northern Minnesota to essentially 0% in southern Florida.

Planning Tips for Christmas Day

  • Travel to northern destinations should account for potential winter storm delays
  • Outdoor gift exchanges or activities work best in the South and Southwest
  • Check historical probability of snow cover for your specific area rather than relying on averages
