Oklahoma is one of those states that takes its holidays very seriously! There’s no shortage of fun stuff to do with the family, no matter what part of the state you’re from.

It’s a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else, and we don’t want to spoil it for you, so we won’t say more. There’s also Oklahoma City’s Downtown in December festivities, where the Bricktown district is transformed into a winter wonderland, and in Tulsa, they have Winterfest, which is a blast as well.

What is winter in Oklahoma like?
Winters in northern Oklahoma are cold and snowy, and winters in southern Oklahoma can be pretty mild. It’s a state that definitely experiences all four seasons, and winters can be icy and snowy. The low temperatures during the coldest months don’t tend to be below 10 degrees. Oklahoma gets anywhere from just two inches of snow in the warmest parts to the east and up to 30 inches in the panhandle. Ice storms occur occasionally and tend to be much more difficult than snowstorms. The lowest recorded temperature ever measured in Oklahoma was in Watts in 1930; temperatures plunged to a beyond-frigid –27 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, it was the lowest ever recorded, until February of 2021 brought a frigid –31 degrees in Nowata. To avoid both tornado season and the worst of winter, the best time to visit the Sooner State is sometime between June and November.
