Christmas 2025: Snowy Travel Tips for the Northeast

The Old Farmer's Almanac has shared its weather predictions for Christmas 2025. If you're planning to visit New England during the holidays, be ready for cold temperatures and snow. This time of year is always busy for travel, so expect delays if you're flying or driving. The forecast suggests that the Northeast, including states like Vermont and Maine, will experience significant snowfall. This could make roads slippery and airports crowded. Travelers should leave early and drive carefully to avoid accidents. But it's not just New England that might see snow. Other regions, like the Upper Midwest, Lower Lakes, and even Alaska, could also have snow showers. This means a white Christmas is possible in many places. If you're heading to the Pacific Northwest, expect storms and rain just before Christmas. The Desert Southwest might start with sun but could see isolated showers later. The Deep South and Atlantic Corridor will have a mix of rain and sun, with snow appearing closer to Christmas in the Appalachians. Remember, Christmas 2025 falls on a Thursday, December 25th. Hanukkah starts on the evening of December 14th and ends on December 22nd. Kwanzaa runs from December 26th to January 1st. The Winter Solstice is on December 21st at 10:03 a. m. ET.
