White Christmas Odds: Punters Hoping For Snow Across UK This Xmas Day

William Hill have opened up their White Christmas market, with odds available on which UK city will see snowfall on Christmas Day.

Edinburgh are the early market favourites, trading at just 2/1 to see snowfall on Christmas Day this year.

They’re followed by Newcastle at 3/1, with Manchester and Leeds (both 4/1) narrowly behind. London is priced at 6/1 – shorter than their opening price of 8/1 last year – with Cardiff 5/1.

Snow On Christmas Day:

• Edinburgh – 2/1
• New York – 3/1
• Newcastle – 3/1
• Manchester – 4/1
• Leeds – 4/1
• Cardiff – 5/1
• Birmingham – 5/1
• London – 6/1

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “With talk of the El Nino effect bringing a polar vortex to the UK this winter, we make Peterborough a 5/1 chance to see snowfall on Christmas Day.

“The Cambridgeshire city’s last recorded White Christmas was 26 years ago, and this year only Edinburgh (2/1), Newcastle (3/1), Manchester (3/1) and Leeds (4/1) are shorter in the betting to see a blanket of white on December 25th.

“London, just 75 miles south of Peterborough, is a bigger price at 6/1 to see snowfall on Christmas Day.”
