The last several nights here in Mexico City have been quite chilly with overnight lows dipping down to 44 degrees Fahrenheit. Although there has been no precipitation here in the city recently, it must have snowed up in the nearby mountains. This morning I took a look a the webcam of Popocatépetl (elevation 17,694 feet), and I saw that "Popo", fuming as always, was covered with a mantle of snow.
Although climbing of the active volcano has been prohibited for years, if you are dreaming of a white Christmas, you could drive up to the nearby mountain pass and probably see some of the white stuff that you are yearning for.
