Xmas traffic

Hi, I will be arriving in CDG dec 25th 9 am. Though I have searched for transportation and found most I needed I still have a doubt. How is traffic in Paris (specifically cdg-opera) at this time?
I will be with my wife, likely 3 suit cases. I know taxi would be an easy one but I have a Sixt Limo discount that would rate me at 70 euros an hour. Would that hour be enough, or should I expect heavy traffic on the route at that time? Thanks a lot!

I would say it should be fine. Very few people driving in Paris so early on Xmas day.

Thank you very much! I thought it should not be bad, now I can go for the comfortable choice with less worries!
Cheers!

I confirm, roads will be empty at 9-10 am. Kids are busy at that time to open their presents

While there will be very few traffic, don't forget it's winter and you might have snow. While rare and certainly not predictable now, I had a CDG experience once in December where the only way to leave the airport was by train/RER, but let's cross fingers that this will not happen again.
