This is the first time the Packers have worn white helmets since the 1950s. The helmets include a dark green logo on the sides, dark green stripes, and a white mask.
They will be worn with Green Bay's white jersey, pants, and socks.
"To help create a blizzard-like effect in the stadium in honor of Packers fans' legendary energy during even the harshest of winter conditions," the team stated.
Furthermore, the Packers have asked fans to wear white to the game to enhance the atmosphere.

The new look will make a one-off appearance this upcoming season on October 20 when the Packers host the Houston Texans.
And if the Good Morning Football crew's reaction to the new helmet is anything to go by, these will go down a store.
"That's dope!" said Akbar Gbajabiamila, who added, "Like, oh my goodness! I've never seen anything outside of the yellow helmet."
He went on to call the helmet "up to date and clean."
