I drive a 1999 Dodge Carivan Sport. Is there something I can put on the rubber around the doors so they don't freeze shut every time it snows?

anything silicone based, or try some "RAIN-X" on the rubber AND the mating door surface- it won't hurt the paint and doesn't allow the ice to stick

The reason they freeze shut is moisture on the rubber freezes overnight. Wiping them, and the surface of the door jam they come in contact with, dry just before closing them should help, but it's just one of those things you can't completely avoid unless you park your van in a garage that is heated.

Just use some Silicon Spray on the rubber surround (weather stripping) that should stop the door freezing.

You can rub vaseline on the seals of the door. This should stop them from freezing shut.

WD-40 , wipe all the rubber surfaces heavily with the WD-40.

If none of the above works, you could move to Florida.
