A CNN Meteorologist Reveals Your Best Bets"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

It\u2019s getting harder and harder to pick a place to travel where you\u2019ll be guaranteed a\u202f white Christmas.\u202fBut CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller, who is also the network\u2019s climate crisis expert, has the forecast for some of this year\u2019s best bets. He\u2019s pored over NOAA\u2019s Winter Outlook<\/a>, weighed the historical likelihood<\/a> of Christmas Day snow, and stirred in a bit of weatherman\u2019s intuition to come up with his holiday list. And yes, he\u2019s checked it twice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boise, Idaho<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

\u202fAccording to MIller, \u201cIdaho gives you some of the highest probabilities of snow in the Lower 48 during Christmas.\u201d That said, the city of Boise sits in a valley where \u201cyou do run the risk of being snowless in late December.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No snow, no worries. You\u2019ll be surrounded by snowcapped mountains, plus there\u2019s plenty to do in town. Carrie Westergard, Executive Director of the Boise Convention & Visitors Bureau, makes sure to \u201cbask in the downtown lights and decorations, including Grove Plaza\u2019s giant Christmas tree, or stroll through 600,000 twinkling lights at the Idaho Botanical Garden\u2019s Winter Garden aGlow<\/a>.\u201d She also recommends taking part in a festive greenhouse farm-to-table experience<\/a> and sampling Idaho wine or locally brewed beer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After indulging in the holiday spirit and spirits, sleep at the Modern Hote<\/a>l, a buzzy hotspot featuring retro-cool vibes. By the way, if it doesn\u2019t snow in Boise and you really crave the white stuff, the Modern\u2019s operations manager, Erika Hiner, recommends running up to Bogus Basin, the ski resort located in the city\u2019s backyard. \u201cHead up the mountain early if you like solitude on the slopes,\u201d she says \u201cand be sure to toast with locals at J.R.\u2019s T-Bar between runs.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steamboat Springs, Colorado<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

\u201cNot all snow is created equal.\u201d So says Miller, who suggests that the Champagne Powder\u00ae\ufe0f<\/a> (yes, it\u2019s trademarked) that falls in Steamboat Springs \u201cis the snow White Christmas dreams (and skiers\u2019 dreams) are made of.\u201d Steamboat gets more than 300 inches of snow each year (of which more than 100 inches can fall in December), so the forecast for a white Christmas is pretty darn good. Miller describes downtown Steamboat Springs as \u201ca cute little town that looks like it is straight out of one of the 147 Hallmark Christmas movies you\u2019ll watch this season.\u201d Laura Soard, marketing director for the Steamboat Springs Chamber, agrees. \u201cThe holiday season is one of my favorite times to be here. I love shopping downtown when the stores put up their lights and Christmas displays.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no visit here is complete without a run or two down the slopes. The Steamboat Grand<\/a>, just steps from the base of the ski area, offers a selection of standard hotel rooms, condos, studios and penthouses.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago, Illinois<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n
\n

If you\u2019re after a white Christmas, Miller says you should really consider Chicago. The Windy City is usually the snowy city come winter and \u201cthis year, the chances could be even higher for snow during that last week or two of December.\u201d Be sure to bundle up, though. Winter winds coming off Lake Michigan can make it feel like the temperature is in single digits.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrepid Chicagoans, however, never let a little cold weather get in the way of a good time. \u201cI personally love exploring the Christkindlmarket [German-style Christmas market] with friends and family, visiting the Great Tree in Macy\u2019s beautiful Walnut Room, exploring the lights of Chicago\u2019s Magnificent Mile and taking part in the Millennium Park Holiday Sing-Along in front of Chicago\u2019s iconic Cloud Gate (the Bean),\u201d says Lynn Osmond, president and CEO of Choose Chicago.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of those experiences are within easy walking distance of The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel<\/a>. Even better, the hotel is connected via an indoor walkway to The Shops at North Bridge, a mall that includes Nordstrom and Eataly, an Italian food hall featuring 20-plus eateries. So, holiday shoppers don\u2019t even have to go outside, which is a big bonus if a visit coincides with one of Chicago\u2019s notorious polar vortexes.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stowe, Vermont<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

Historic downtown Stowe<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u202f<\/strong>You can\u2019t get more \u201cWhite Christmas\u201d than Vermont. After all, a fictional inn in the Green Mountain State was the backdrop for the movie of the same name. Miller says if you want snow for Christmas, head to Stowe. The ski resort town averages 39 inches of it in December, its snowiest month of the year. What\u2019s more, Stowe and nearby Mount Mansfield top out on NOAA\u2019s historical probabilities<\/a> of seeing a white Christmas this year, at 99 percent.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why Matthew Wheeler, area general manager for Topnotch Resort<\/a> recommends holiday visitors get outside. \u201cStowe is a great place to ski, and there are also plenty of outdoor activities off the mountain, from snowshoeing and snowmobiling to fat tire biking and sleigh rides.\u201d \u201cThe town of Stowe itself couldn\u2019t be a more perfect looking New England town,\u201d notes Miller, \u201cplucked straight out of a Thomas Kinkade painting.\u201d If holiday shopping is your thing, Wheeler suggests picking up unique Vermont presents at locally owned boutiques in town, or looking for oldies but goodies at the antique shops lining Route 100.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Tahoe, California\/Nevada<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

Snow in California and Nevada? Sure, if you are in the Sierra Nevada. Thanks to a La Ni\u00f1a pattern, Miller says the area, which encompasses Lake Tahoe, should be getting plenty of snow this year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe holidays are almost guaranteed to be white in Tahoe, so that sets the stage for traditional activities, whether it’s skiing, snow play or simply strolling through town to see it all dressed up in its holiday finest,\u201d says Carol Chaplin president and CEO of Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority. Chaplin loves to see the forest glistening after a fresh snowfall, and might head out on snowshoes with friends. \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s back to the lodge for a crackling fire, hot chocolate, or better yet, a hot toddy.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for start-of-day recommendations, \u201cI can\u2019t think of anything better than waking up to the view of snow-capped mountains reflecting in the glass-like Lake Tahoe,\u201d says Miller who loves the amazing views at Edgewood Tahoe Resort. The Edgewood gets into the holiday spirit with a 12 Days of Christmas event, which includes activities like nightly hot cocoa socials, cookie decorating and visits with Mrs. Claus (Santa is otherwise engaged, apparently). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven the likeliest of snow destinations can have a warm spell,\u201d says Miller, \u201cand with climate change decreasing the likelihood of getting snow on Christmas<\/a> these days, take it easy on yourself and go with a guaranteed White Christmas.\u201d To do so, he follows the advice of country singer Kenny Chesney, who croons that one of the best ways to enjoy a white Christmas is to dip your toes in some white sand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perdido Key, perched along the Florida-Alabama line, has glimmering white sand in spades. While there, Miller recommends listening to Chesney\u2019s Christmas album at famed beachfront dive bar the Flora-Bama, a hangout he immortalized in song. Meanwhile, Lindsey Steck, marketing and communications manager for Visit Pensacola, says that during the holidays, \u201cI find myself heading to \u2018The Key\u2019 for some much-needed R&R. The beaches, while still warm and sun-drenched, are practically empty for serene walks along the Gulf of Mexico,\u201d she says. \u201cThe Yacht Club is where I go for buttery char-grilled oysters and Greek seafood nachos, and the Lounge & Package across the street keeps the bushwackers [cocktail] and live music flowing.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Perdido Beach Resort<\/a>, located right on the Gulf of Mexico, offers a range of hotel room options, along with a private beach, sailing, and kayaking, an indoor and outdoor pool and five on-site restaurants.\u202f <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
