Chicago Winters don’t have the best reputation, but the Midwest in the Holidays is a great time to visit. Chicago knows how to do the cold properly by lighting it up with some of the best festivities of the year. Plus, the weather most often doesn’t get brutal until January and February! If you’re visiting Chicago in December, you’ll be able to enjoy most of the winter activities.
