What to Expect on Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve on December 24th is one of the coldest holidays for the northern US. The classic dream of a white Christmas is a real possibility across the Northern Plains, Great Lakes, and New England. Meanwhile, Florida and the Southwest can be mild enough for outdoor celebrations.
Only about 20% of US cities have snow on the ground on Christmas Eve in a typical year, despite the cultural expectation of a white Christmas.
Planning Tips for Christmas Eve
- •Northern driving conditions can be hazardous with winter storms and icy roads
- •Outdoor light displays are best enjoyed in dry, cold conditions rather than during active precipitation
- •Southern destinations offer a warm alternative for holiday celebrations
