Are you dreaming of a white Christmas, or just want to look at it from beside a warm fireplace?

Either way you will have to travel a little to get a proper blanketing of snow this December 25th.

Austria and Turkey are likely to see the best covering of snow over Christmas.

The Austrian village of St Anton will get a modest covering of 1.7cms.

But bundle up, as the temperature could go as low as -9°C.

While the Alpine resort town of Saalbach Hinterglemm is looking at a forecast of around 1.5cms of snow.

The Romanian ski resort of Poiana Brasov could see up to to 2.1cms of the white stuff, with a balmy -4° temperature.

While over in Turkey, Kartalkaya is looking at 5.6cms of snow falling on Christmas Day and temperature of -5°.

And neighbouring Elmadag is looking at a similar 5.7cms.

The Ergan Mountain Ski Centre, as the name suggests, will also see a large snow covering.

Up to 3.1cms have been forecast there for December 25th - along with a temperature of -4°.

The resort of Davraz could also get up to 2.1cms, according to the forecast.

Snowmen will abound...
