Canada was recently named the most Christmassy Country in the entire world in a recent report. The report measures countries across the globe based on Christmas travel recognition, the chance of snow, Christian population, Christmas search interest, and the popularity of Christmas music.
And while Vancouver may love its Christmas music, as well as Christmas events, its chance of snow is extremely low.
But just how low is extremely low?
According to Environment Canada's White Christmas historical data, Vancouver is the least likely city in the country to see snowfall on the big day. In fact, the oceanside city only has a 10 per cent chance of seeing snow based on snowfall amounts from 1955-2017.
Alternatively, if you want to be guaranteed snowfall on Christmas day, visit Iqaluit, Kenora, Whitehorse, or Yellowknife - they all have a 100 per cent chance of seeing snow based on the data.
Environment and Climate Change Canada analyzed 63 years of Canadian snowfall weather records in 45 major centres across Canada in order to calculate the data.
Vancouver saw one of its wettest weeks on record this month. While the first week of December was relatively dry and sunny, things took a decidedly damp turn after that. The forecast originally called for snow, however, it rained in the Lower Mainland instead.
