Snowflakes are often used as symbols representing winter or cold conditions. Therefore, the snowflake is often a traditional seasonal image or motif used around the Christmas season, especially in Europe and North America. Snowflakes are also traditionally associated with the “White Christmas” weather that often occurs during Christmastide.
As a Christian celebration, Christmas celebrates the incarnation of Jesus, who according to Christian belief atones for the sins of humanity; so, in European and North American Christmas traditions, snowflakes symbolize purity.
