With the big day just around the corner and the temperatures dropping recently, the chances of snow on December 25 are increasing, as Glasgow tops the betting odds for a white Christmas.
William Hill has named Glasgow and Edinburgh as the locations with the best chance. Both of the Scottish cities are priced at 2-1 for the chance of a White Christmas, with forecasts of snow being all throughout December.
In England, Leeds and Manchester have a 7-2 chance of a White Christmas this year followed by London and Birmingham which are both currently at 9-2.

A white Christmas for a city is measured by if snow is recorded at the city airport, even if it is just one singular snowflake. However, with these recent low temperatures, the chances of more than a singular flake are even more likely.
Glasgow tops the list with a 2-1 chance, with Edinburgh close behind. American wonderland New York is in third with a 3-1 chance, and Leeds come fourth, at 7-2 odds.
Manchester ties up the top five with 7-2 odds as well, with Belfast (7-2), London (9-2), Birmingham (9-2), Paris (5-1) and Cardiff (7-1) rounding off the top ten consecutively.

Commenting on the Snow of Christmas Day odds market, William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps said; “As we get closer to the big day, forecasters are starting to get a more accurate prediction on where we can expect snow.
“Naturally with Scotland being in the North, the odds have tumbled on Glasgow and Edinburgh airports, even though the country hasn’t seen snow on Christmas day since 2010 it is still the most likely according to forecasters.”
You can check out the Met Office long-range forecast on their website, if you want to prepare for the likely even of snow falling on Christmas Day.
