Manitobans hoping for a festive blanket of snow this holiday season are in luck. Meteorologist Colleen Bready has released her updated forecast for the province, with a specific look at conditions expected for Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve Forecast Details
In her forecast published on December 23, 2025, Colleen Bready provided current conditions and her outlook for the coming days. The key takeaway for residents is a high probability of seasonal weather aligning with the holiday.
While the full video forecast offers granular details, the prediction points toward traditional winter conditions. This aligns with broader patterns seen across Canada, such as the 5 to 10 cm of snow forecast for Ottawa, confirming a white Christmas for the capital.
Regional Weather Context and Risks
The forecast comes amid significant weather events elsewhere in the country, underscoring the importance of being prepared. In Alberta, emergency services have issued stark warnings about frostbite risk during a severe cold snap, noting injuries can occur "within minutes" of exposure.
Meanwhile, in British Columbia, a court made a landmark decision involving a husband's "death plan" for his wife with dementia, stripping him of medical decision-making power. These stories highlight how weather and environmental conditions can have serious societal and personal impacts.
Preparing for the Holiday Weather
For Manitobans, the Christmas Eve forecast suggests planning for winter travel. With the potential for snow, drivers should exercise caution, a reminder echoed by Winnipeg police whose checkstop program saw the number of drivers stopped more than double in its third week.
Residents are advised to check the latest updates from Colleen Bready for the most precise local conditions. Ensuring vehicles are winter-ready and allowing extra travel time can make for a safer and more enjoyable holiday celebration.
