Have you ever experienced a White Christmas before?

This magical occurrence happens when, on Christmas Day, the ground is covered in snow. Despite our romanticized, idealistic visions of winter wonderlands at Christmastime, the reality is that the chances of seeing a White Christmas are actually quite rare!

With this in mind, these maps might help you plan a trip to a North American or European destination where you’ll be likely to see a White Christmas. These are, without a doubt, the two continents that are most well-situated to experience a White Christmas.

As you can see in the map of North America, if you want to have a snowy holiday, you should look north or head out to the Rocky Mountains.

Some of the cities that you can visit if you want to have a good chance to see a White Christmas include Minneapolis, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Chicago!

Meanwhile, in Europe, there are quite a few options for travel if you want to experience the wonder of a snowy December 25th. The Alps are an almost sure thing, whereas cities like Stockholm, Moscow, and Vienna all see decent chances of snow on Christmas.
