It’s beginning to look a lot like a winter wonderland, NYC! Christmas week might just bring snow, sparkle, and all the holiday feels.
With the winter solstice arriving yesterday, December 21st, the season has officially turned—and winter is making its entrance in true New York fashion.
Residents and holiday visitors alike can look forward to a touch of magic, as light snow is expected to begin early tomorrow morning around 6 am. From quiet, snow-dusted streets to twinkling city lights, it’s shaping up to be a classic, cozy start to the most magical week of the year.
According to The Weather Channel, snowflakes are expected to fall during the early morning hours, with temperatures hovering just above the freezing mark.

While the snow may briefly coat rooftops and parks, the wintry mix isn’t expected to last all day. As the afternoon approaches, conditions are forecast to change, with snow gradually tapering off and transitioning into rain.
While the snowfall may be short-lived, it should still be enough to deliver that festive, storybook moment New Yorkers wait for each winter.
Enjoy the snowy start, stay warm, and soak in the seasonal magic while it lasts. Happy snow day and happy holidays, NYC!
