No
I live in the north of Sweden. I always hope for a white Christmas. If there’s no snow, it’s so dark, and gloomy. A few hours of sunlight in a day. No snow usually means it’s cold enough for rain and a little bit of snow, but also warm enough to melt it to turn it into slush.
So definitely, we always hope for a crisp, snowy Christmas. Every year. More opportunities for outdoor activities then, too.
No, a green Christmas would be extremely concerning
Shrek disagrees
I live in a northern country with cold winters. The alternative to “white Christmas” is really an icy or wet Christmas. Green would not even cross my mind.
And certainly I prefer snow over sleet or black ice on the roads.

Never. Christmas time should be cold af, dark for most if not all of the day, and in deep snow.
Depends on the person. It sometimes gets into the negative double digits F where I live. Its forecasted to snow around Christmas and I’m hyped as fuck.
No, because snow is nice and beautiful. The problem is, we don’t get a white christmas (or have snow for most of the winter) every year, because where I live we mostly either get wet warm winds which lead to rain or we get cold dry winds which just lead to cold days without snow.
We can like snow in December. Hate it until next december. We will have brown Christmases some years, and there is a sense of disappointment over it.
Last year I had the all you can eat mexican buffet on Christmas eve. I ended up having a “brown Christmas.”
I spent Christmas one time in Australia. It was surreal. I don’t think I’d ever get used to that, so, not me.
I often wonder if people who live in Australia feel a similar way considering how Christmas time is typically depicted.
Aussie here, to me xmas = summer time. Xmas movies always felt irrelevant, and the idea of Santa wearing all his gear is mental when it’s often 40C+ and humid af.
Being cold would feel alien that time of year, even more so if it snowed because that doesn’t happen in 99% of the country regardless of the time of year.
Lol yup, total opposite! Plus the prevalence of North American/Hollywood movies/shows usually depict snowy Christmas.
Nope. Who doesn’t love the idea of a winter wonderland Christmas?
I like to pretend that song is racist as fuck and then pretend to be upset every time it comes on the air. It amuses me.
It’s also fun to pretend that it’s about cocaine.

Nope. Christmas just isn’t Christmas without snow
Interesting question. I live in Belgium and… well first of all I don’t care for Christmas. I do like to celebrate with family and friends but the religious celebration itself, no. Second I never actually considered it. I do love snow and ice. I recently took on ice skating and… even though I also love the Summer where I can roller blade and skate, knowing that something else is coming is a genuine joy.
So… I can’t speak for others but I absolutely love the Winter, from hot chocolate to waffle outside to ice skating, hikes in the snow then relaxing by the file place, there is just so much to look for during that season that … never dreamt of “a green Christmas”.
Edit: I actually had one last year, going to Madeiras, Portuguese island West of Morocco, North of Africa, and… that was fine too. Honestly truth is I don’t really care where and how as long as we share a good time.
