There's no Biblical basis for believing so. Also, it's not horribly likely in any event, as Bethlehem rarely gets cold enough for snow. Also, while neither of the Biblical accounts give an actual date, some scholars think the descriptions of the activities of the shepherds in the book of Luke make it likely that they arrived in spring or summer. The "December 25th" tradition didn't get started for at least a couple of centuries.
