It is very cold, sometimes freezing.
Illinois does get snow in January, but whether or not it snow close to Christmas, though depends on the particular weather pattern at the time. Snow is a bit more likely in Northern Illinois where Lake Michigan provides extra moisture.
The last time a significant amount of snow fell upon that area of Illinois was in 2002, when a snowstorm on Christmas Eve brought about 8 inches of the winter powder. For more information on snowfall occurring on Christmas, I've provided a link that records back to 1999 in Carbondale, Illinois, (37.9 miles from the city in question.)* This year (2010), scattered snow showers are expected. *Google Maps- Directions from Harrisburg, IL to Carbondale, IL
