news Some parts of the UK could see a white Christmas this year, while the rest of the country will experience cold and bright weather, the Met Office has said.

new The largely unsettled weather ahead of the big day will lead to colder and clearer conditions on 25 December.

 
Meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth said: "We could see some snow showers over the hills in northern parts of the UK - it's probably the most likely place to see any snow.

"You couldn't rule out some sleety snow further south than that, but there's a really big question mark on it."
