The Christmas forecast for Alberta is out and it's looking pretty messy
An early look at the Christmas forecast for Alberta is out, and it’s looking to be a pretty messy one, depending on where you are in the province.
The Old Farmerâs Almanac, which unveiled its winter forecast for Alberta back in September, has released its Christmas 2025 forecast for Canada.
The Almanac may have predicted a winter that will be milder than average across much of the Prairies; however, all Albertans shouldnât pack away their parkas just yet.
When it comes to Christmas, those in northern Alberta are forecast to see cold temperatures and snow, and those travelling for the holidays should anticipate “snowy roads” and “drive cautiously.” Those in the area are also strongly favoured to enjoy a white Christmas.
The southern portion of Alberta is set to see mild temperatures and sunshine turning to flurries on Christmas, with those on the move for the holidays recommended to travel early in the week, with the potential for slick roads later on.
Those in this area have a chance to enjoy a white Christmas, depending on storm tracks and temperatures.

With half of the province forecast to see cold temperatures and snowfall, while the other could see mild temperatures and flurries, it’s shaping up to be a messy Christmas for some parts of Alberta.
While we are zooming towards the holidays and winter, we’ve got you covered on how often Calgary and Edmonton have seen white Christmases so far this century, and if you’re looking for something free to do, check out this dreamy Alberta lake town that has 300,000 Christmas lights.
