Dreaming of a white Christmas? Well, the Met Office have said that it is highly likely that this will be the case with the North of the country set to expect snow. There is something about snow on Christmas that is so magical, so much so that we wait for it to be predicted each year, yet since 1960 there has been less then 30 white Christmases.
December 2023 has already been a mixed bag when it comes to weather with the likes of snow, sleet and milder temperatures in the last two weeks.
Speaking to The Independent, Met Office spokesperson Grahame Madge said: “We can say with a high degree of confidence it will be a white Christmas this year.”
“However that does not mean we will see blankets of snow. It is more likely we will see snow in higher parts of the UK like the North Pennines or Scottish Highlands.”

YorkshireLive reported that weather maps for Boxing Day show a lot of snow being predicted across Yorkshire with Leeds and West Yorkshire in the middle of it all. It’s said to come around 6am on Tuesday (Boxing Day), with around 2cms of snow predicted for parts of Yorkshire.
So. it seems it is up in the air about getting some snow on Christmas Day, but it does look like Yorkshire will get some snow over the festive period, if not somewhat uneven.
Whether or not we get a a white Christmas there is still plenty to do in Yorkshire in the last week before the big day. We’ve put together a big ol’ list of Christmas markets and events taking place across God’s Own Country. Why not check ’em out here?
