Mont Blanc tunnel is the safest bet, it will be open regardless of conditions and the road either side will be well gritted.

Switzerland will have snow by late december. Some of the heaviest snowfalls can be during this period.

The Swiss are good at clearing, but I've still sat in some heavy congestion at this time of year due to heavy snowfalls.
