If it's snow you are after this Christmas, Scotland would appear to be the place you are most likely to find it.<\/h2>\n

Seven of the country's regions and cities are among the top 10 most likely places to see snowfalls on Christmas Day, according to new research published this week.<\/p>\n

\"\" FRONTRUNNER: Moray in Scotland is a firm favourite to see snowfall on Christmas Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been 11 long years since the white stuff fell from the skies on 25 December anywhere in Britain, and many of us, fed up with being bombarded on a daily basis by the latest depressing news about Covid, are desperate for some festive cheer in the form of some long-overdue seasonal weather.<\/p>\n

So, curious to uncover which UK regions may be in luck this time around, Sorted and our pals at NoDepositDaddy.com have analysed Met Office weather data from the past 20 years \u2013 covering for 363 districts \u2013 in a bid to determine which regions might just strike it lucky.<\/p>\n

\"\" WAY OFF THE PACE: Pendle District on the Northwest is the fourth most likely place to see snow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here's what we discovered...<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Moray<\/strong> in Scotland has a 95.87% chance of seeing snowfall;<\/li>\n
  • The Scottish Highlands<\/strong> aren't far behind. There is a 91.24% probability locals there will be blessed with a white smattering this time round;<\/li>\n
  • Perth and Kinross<\/strong> in Scotland make it three-in-a-row for the Saltire nation with a 90.58% chance;<\/li>\n
  • England's Pendle District<\/strong> has the best chance of seeing snow south of the border. Its chances are rated at 86.30%;<\/li>\n
  • Dundee<\/strong> further enhances Scotland's chances with a rating of 83.50%;<\/li>\n
  • The comes Aberdeenshire<\/strong> (at 82.11%) and the Scottish Borders<\/strong> (81.17%);<\/li>\n
  • Craven District<\/strong> in England comes in with an 80.76% chance;<\/li>\n
  • The beautiful Midlothian<\/strong> region of Scotland emphasises Scotland's dominance in the statistics charts (79.92% probability);<\/li>\n
  • Meanwhile, Stockport<\/strong>, nestling on the outskirts of Manchester, has a 79.51% chance of seeing snow land on the rooftops of its houses and businesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Alas, for Londoners<\/strong> and people living in the Southwest<\/strong>, the odds of seeing snow are a long shot \u2013 at best. Both areas are the most likely to see any chance at all of experiencing a White Christmas this year!<\/p>\n
