It'll probably be around 7 or so degrees during the day and 3 or 4 degrees at night. It very rarely actually snows at christmas here. Sometimes it's a bit frosty. There's a good chance of rain but that's mainly because there's always a good chance of rain. The city centre will be incredibly busy with people doing last minute shopping. You can certainly get around, but expect it to take a while on main streets and in shops where people buy christmas things. North Bridge, Princes Street and George Street will be packed with people. The christmas markets will be pretty hectic too. If you like a festive atmosphere though, I guess it's ok. Some shops may close earlier than normal on the 24th and a lot of pubs/restaurant will close a bit earlier than normal on the 24th as well. Maybe just a couple of hours earlier so for pubs 10pm or so rather than midnight for example. Public transport also usually starts to wind down on the evening of the 24th so if you're intending on travelling anywhere, do it before about 10pm ideally. If you're doing shopping, don't do it on the 24th probably. On the 25th, most shops, pubs etc will be closed and a lot of restaurants will only be open for people who have booked ahead of time for christmas dinners. Takeaways, corner shops and some foreign restaurants will be open though. Some pubs open for part of the day but not all. On the 26th, a lot of shops will be back open but sometimes with limited opening hours. A lot of pubs and restaurants will be open but sometimes with limited hours. There is limited public transport on the 25th, and also on the 26th so you can still get around the city, might just take a bit longer. The Christmas markets are closed on the 25th, but open other days. If you're here and looking for non-Christmassy things to do on the 25th, then the zoo is open and will be less busy than it usually is.
