It’s an outside chance but there is an outside chance of a white Christmas, according to latest forecasts.
New weather charts show a “risk of sleet and snow” for parts of the country on Christmas night.
Plunging temperatures on Christmas eve mean it will be a crisp and bright Christmas Day.
However, rain is forecast later in the day suggesting a chance of snow.

“But this is the only model showing snow at this time.”
