OLBG are still dreaming of a White Christmas this year and we've looked at odds with UK Betting Sites on where we could see snow falling on Christmas Day next month.
With the UK bracing for snow this week with the cold spell seeing lows of -8 across parts of Northern England and Scotland, odds of 6/4 are now given for snow in Edinburgh and Glasgow on Christmas Day.
The two Scottish cities have been the shortest price ever since the market was released and they've now shortened even further from 2/1 to just 6/4 for snowfall.
Betway now have their full market up with Leeds third favourite in the market to see snow and four cities in the UK following the top three of the market as joint fourth favourite.
| Snow on Christmas Day 2023 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Edinburgh | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Glasgow | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Leeds | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Belfast | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Manchester | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Birmingham | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Nottingham | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Liverpool | 13/2 | 13.3% |
| Cardiff | 8/1 | 11.1% |
What the expert says..
Both Edinburgh and Glasgow have been cut into 6/4 to see snowfall on Christmas Day this year with cold spells hitting the UK later this week.
Odds also given for snow in global areas with New York 4/1 for snow this Christmas Day
It's not just the UK that feature in the betting for snow on Christmas but international locations too with cities such as New York and Paris appearing in the odds.
New York City itself is 4/1 to see snow on Christmas Day this year with those odds suggesting a 20% chance that snow will fall on the big day next month.
Paris also has odds for snow with Paris Charles de Gaulle International airport out to 20/1 to see snow fall with bookies not giving much hope.

Further festive betting specials include odds on who will have this year's Christmas Number One
The Pogues have now moved into favourites to get this year's Christmas Number One with bookies still offering odds on who will get the top spot.
Reports earlier this month revealed that frontman Shane MacGowan was hospitalised after battling illness and this saw odds instantly slashed for his band's song Fairytale of New York to reach the top spot.
This coincided with LadBaby officially pulling out of the race for the top spot at Christmas this year after getting number one for the last 5 years in a row.
| Christmas Number One 2023 (selected) | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| The Pogues | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Sidemen | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Taylor Swift | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Slade | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| The Beatles | 8/1 | 11.1% |
What the expert says...
The Pogues now have a 60% chance of getting the Christmas Number One spot this year with Shane MacGowan's illness reported earlier this month which could see fans buying their hit Fairytale of New York this Christmas.
