Calling a function on Christmas day

I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to make it 'snow' only on Christmas day. I figured out how to grab the day but I'm not sure how make it call SnowStorm() correctly.

var christmas = {
  month: 11,
  date: 25
}

function isItChristmas() {
  var now = new Date();
  var isChristmas = (now.getMonth() == christmas.month && now.getDate() == christmas.date);

if (isChristmas)
    return ;
  else
    return ;
}

var snowStorm = null;

function SnowStorm() {
    (snowstorm code)

}

snowStorm = new SnowStorm();

Here's the version if you are planning to make a function (not a class):

var christmas = {
  month: 12,
  date: 25
}

function isItChristmas() {
  var now = new Date();
  return (now.getMonth() == christmas.month && now.getDate() == christmas.date);
}

if (isItChristmas()){
    SnowStorm();
  }else{
    //not a christmas
}
    
function SnowStorm() {
    (snowstorm code)
}

Here's the one if you are planning to make a class:

var christmas = {
  month: 12,
  date: 25
}

function isItChristmas() {
  var now = new Date();
  return (now.getMonth() == christmas.month && now.getDate() == christmas.date);
}

var storm = new SnowStorm();

if (isItChristmas()){
    storm.Snow();
  }else{
    //not a christmas
}
    
function SnowStorm() {
    this.Snow = function(){
        (snowstorm code)
    }
}

You need to return a boolean value from the isItChristmas function:

function isItChristmas() {
   var now = new Date();
   return (now.getMonth() + 1 == christmas.month && 
           now.getDate() == christmas.date);
}

and then call it:

function SnowStorm() {
    if (isItChristmas()) {
        // your snowstorm code here
        // that will execute only on Christmas
    }
}

By the way you will notice that the .getMonth() method returns the month from 0 to 11, so you need to add 1 as shown in my example, otherwise your code will run on 25th of November.

First, you are not returning anything on the isItChristmas function. Second, in the SnowStorm function just add

if (isItChristmas) {
    (your code here)
}
