5. Chicago, Illinois

While Chicago doesn't have the highest chances of a white Christmas, it's undeniably magical when it does snow. The average low temperature for December is 24 degrees F, so snow is not off the table. To get in the holiday spirit, try some of these traditions: Head to Navy Pier for the Fifth Third Bank Winter WonderFest, where you can sample hot spiced wine and browse vendors. Or check out Christkindlmarket Chicago, which dazzles like a European Christmas village. And if theater is more your speed, check out "’Twas the Night Before Christmas" at the Broadway Playhouse.
