We all know those immortal words ‘I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones we used to know’ from Bing Crosby, and most people still hold that sentiment dear to their hearts. However, the UK weather doesn’t traditionally like to pay attention to the wants and needs of its inhabitants.

So, every year millions of people lie in hope that there will be snow on the ground when they wake up on Christmas Day, but just how likely is it? And, is there a way to make some money out of it? The answer to the latter is an emphatic yes as UK betting sites have been pricing up the likelihood of snow on December 25th, while we will attempt to answer the former in this article.

You can find the latest betting odds on snow on Christmas day listed below.

As with many things in the UK, there appears to be something of a north/south divide when it comes to whether snow falls after Father Christmas has been down the chimney to drop some presents off or not. Indeed, between the years of 1960 and 2016 the south-east/south had just 10 years where snow fell on Christmas Day, while in the north-east/north, there were 24 years of white Christmases. In that same time period, northern Scotland saw 34 years of waking up to a White Christmas.

According to the Met Office, since 1960 just over half of the years on record has seen at least some snow somewhere in the UK. This means that more than half of Christmas Days have indeed been a white Christmas, which is why some of the best betting apps have odds who might see it in their city. Now would also be a great time to sign up with a new betting site with the help of Bookies.com so that you can secure a great free bet to use on whether there will be a white Christmas where you are or not.

Lots of new betting sites and more established ones have odds available on whether snow will fall at specific airports dotted around the UK. Suffice to say, the more northerly the airport the shorter the odds for snow to fall, which means there could be some real value to be had on places that perhaps haven’t seen snow for a while. 

Last year, there was snow in three locations in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the rest of the UK had to make do without building a snowman or having a snowball fight. Does that mean there’s a better chance of snow falling this year?
