How climate change has altered Christmas
By Isabelle Gerretsen, 2021
While Hollywood's representation of a white Christmas
might be the northern hemisphere ideal, for many around the
world the holiday is celebrated in very different weather. But,
climate change is threatening both winter wonderlands and
5 warmer Christmas traditions.
In the Netherlands, where I grew up, a popular tradition
around Christmas is to put on your skates and take to the
frozen rivers. Young and old head onto the ice.
Active skaters used to enter the Elfstedentocht, an
10 iconic ice-skating race covering 200km that passes through
11 cities in the northern province Friesland. It's been 24
years since the last race happened. Climate change is
endangering this beloved winter tradition.
And it is not just cold-weather holiday traditions that are
15 slowly disappearing. Around the world extreme weather
caused by climate change and rising temperatures are
altering beloved Christmas traditions. BBC Future speaks to
three young people who share their Christmas stories.
Mitzi Jonelle Tan, 22, the Philippines
20 The Philippines has the earliest and longest Christmas
season in the world. "We celebrate from 1 September until 6
January," says the 22-year-old climate activist from Manila,
the capital of the Philippines. It is a colourful and creative
time. People make their own Christmas decorations,
25 including a star-shaped lantern, called a parol that they hang
in windows and streets for the entire festive season.
"On Christmas morning we always take photos in front
of churches near where my mum grew up," she says. "My
mum and grandpa also used to take pictures there." But in
30 50 years' time, this special place for the Jonelle Tan family
could no longer exist due to rising sea levels.
The Philippines is the world's most vulnerable country
to disasters caused by climate change. It is hit on average by
more than 20 typhoons each year, which cause severe
35 flooding and large-scale destruction. Flooding already
means that families can't put up their Christmas lights.
In November last year, super typhoon Goni, the year's
most powerful storm, hit the Philippines at 225km/h. "A few
days before Christmas, we were still helping clean up the
40 mud that had flooded the houses”, says Tan. People brought
food and gifts to the evacuation centres. "Christmas is a
celebration of what we've suffered that year, together as a
community".
Salvador Gómez-Colón, 19, Puerto Rico
45 Puerto Ricans love Christmas, says 19-year-old
Salvador Gómez-Colón. “It is a spectacle. It's the biggest
holiday in Puerto Rico”. During the festive period, families
head into the mountains around the capital San Juan to
gather at food trucks, called chinchorros. There they eat
50 suckling pig and cod fritters. "It's very communal, you meet
your neighbours and talk to strangers", Gómez-Colón says.
One of his favourite Christmas traditions is the
parranda: carolling in the streets and outside people's
houses. "We sing folklore songs with cymbals and drums".
55 This tradition continued even during Puerto Rico's darkest
days, after the country was hit by category 5 Hurricane Maria
in 2017. It dropped more rain on Puerto Rico than any storm
to hit the country since 1956. A storm of such power is five
times more probable to hit now than in the 1950s due to
60 climate change, a 2019 study found.
"I've never felt as vulnerable in my entire life. I was
[protecting myself] in a basement room with 10 others and
lost communication with my dad and friends," he says.
During the Christmas period, much of Puerto Rico was still in
65 complete darkness. Despite the terrible situation, Puerto
Ricans managed to celebrate Christmas that year.
Daniel Holanda, 19, Brazil
Christmas starts on 24 November when Brazilians
decorate the tree. Several years ago, Holanda’s family
70 house flooded while they were celebrating this tradition.
He celebrates Christmas in the city of Anápolis in
Brazil's central state, Goiás. "Every year we get together
on 24 December at my grandma's house. I have seven
uncles and they each bring a dish for dinner," he says.
75 “Christmas dinner is often candlelit as the flooding
causes frequent power cuts at this time of year. We used
to decorate the house with lights and play a lot of different
games outside. Now we can't do it anymore”, he says.
Goiás is home to the Cerrado, a vast wooded
80 avannah that contains thousands of rare species.
Scientists have warned that this biodiversity place may
collapse in less than 30 years if temperatures continue to
rise and large agricultural businesses rapidly change
forests into soy plantations. Besides flooding, the region
85 has suffered from extreme drought in recent years.
Wildfires are also a major problem there.
Despite the challenges, people find a way to gather
and return at Christmas time, he says. "On Christmas Eve,
we give food to people in need, especially old people."

And it is not just cold-weather holiday traditions that are
15 slowly disappearing. Around the world extreme weather
caused by climate change and rising temperatures are
altering beloved Christmas traditions. BBC Future speaks to
three young people who share their Christmas stories.
Mitzi Jonelle Tan, 22, the Philippines
20 The Philippines has the earliest and longest Christmas
season in the world. "We celebrate from 1 September until 6
January," says the 22-year-old climate activist from Manila,
the capital of the Philippines. It is a colourful and creative
time. People make their own Christmas decorations,
25 including a star-shaped lantern, called a parol that they hang
in windows and streets for the entire festive season.
"On Christmas morning we always take photos in front
of churches near where my mum grew up," she says. "My
mum and grandpa also used to take pictures there." But in
30 50 years' time, this special place for the Jonelle Tan family
could no longer exist due to rising sea levels.
The Philippines is the world's most vulnerable country
to disasters caused by climate change. It is hit on average by
more than 20 typhoons each year, which cause severe
35 flooding and large-scale destruction. Flooding already
means that families can't put up their Christmas lights.
In November last year, super typhoon Goni, the year's
most powerful storm, hit the Philippines at 225km/h. "A few
days before Christmas, we were still helping clean up the
40 mud that had flooded the houses”, says Tan. People brought
food and gifts to the evacuation centres. "Christmas is a
celebration of what we've suffered that year, together as a
community".
Salvador Gómez-Colón, 19, Puerto Rico
45 Puerto Ricans love Christmas, says 19-year-old
Salvador Gómez-Colón. “It is a spectacle. It's the biggest
holiday in Puerto Rico”. During the festive period, families
head into the mountains around the capital San Juan to
gather at food trucks, called chinchorros. There they eat
50 suckling pig and cod fritters. "It's very communal, you meet
your neighbours and talk to strangers", Gómez-Colón says.
One of his favourite Christmas traditions is the
parranda: carolling in the streets and outside people's
houses. "We sing folklore songs with cymbals and drums".
55 This tradition continued even during Puerto Rico's darkest
days, after the country was hit by category 5 Hurricane Maria
in 2017. It dropped more rain on Puerto Rico than any storm
to hit the country since 1956. A storm of such power is five
times more probable to hit now than in the 1950s due to
60 climate change, a 2019 study found.
"I've never felt as vulnerable in my entire life. I was
[protecting myself] in a basement room with 10 others and
lost communication with my dad and friends," he says.
During the Christmas period, much of Puerto Rico was still in
65 complete darkness. Despite the terrible situation, Puerto
Ricans managed to celebrate Christmas that year.
Daniel Holanda, 19, Brazil
Christmas starts on 24 November when Brazilians
decorate the tree. Several years ago, Holanda’s family
70 house flooded while they were celebrating this tradition.
He celebrates Christmas in the city of Anápolis in
Brazil's central state, Goiás. "Every year we get together
on 24 December at my grandma's house. I have seven
uncles and they each bring a dish for dinner," he says.
75 “Christmas dinner is often candlelit as the flooding
causes frequent power cuts at this time of year. We used
to decorate the house with lights and play a lot of different
games outside. Now we can't do it anymore”, he says.
Goiás is home to the Cerrado, a vast wooded
80 avannah that contains thousands of rare species.
Scientists have warned that this biodiversity place may
collapse in less than 30 years if temperatures continue to
rise and large agricultural businesses rapidly change
forests into soy plantations. Besides flooding, the region
85 has suffered from extreme drought in recent years.
Wildfires are also a major problem there.
Despite the challenges, people find a way to gather
and return at Christmas time, he says. "On Christmas Eve,
we give food to people in need, especially old people."
