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.

It used to snow and I would get tired of it, but now that doesn’t happen much anymore …i don’t mind it if it does.

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.

We live in cold climates because we like cold climates. 😉

Only Heatmiser

Tasmaina, Austalia here, gets to 23c around Christmas where I am.

I'd not live somewhere where it snowed, id not live in the tropics (I used to do the latter from being a kid until it got too much and I left)

Never. Christmas time should be cold af, dark for most if not all of the day, and in deep snow.

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.

No way. Keep your heat, I’ll be snowboarding.

The snow doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the -20 degree F temps. These nips could cut glass.

We do not.

Green christmas, ain't christmas. Give me snow, lots of snow!

No, a green Christmas would be extremely concerning

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.

No.

We get around 48" per year. I love this shit.

If it's not snowing, it's still not green. It's just grey. Grey is worse because at least the snow is pretty.

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. Give me snow. Give me snow year round.

This is the song "Hot Christmas" they used to play on the radio in Florida.

And this is the wiggles on the beach singing their song "Christmas Picnic". Looks like fun!

Im not in a "cold" climate, but its the pacific northwest. It gets chilly this time of year. People still dream of white Christmases. Its the idealized 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.

We used to have white christmases and dream of them too, now with climate change we dream of them but have green / brown ones in reality.

My red and green this Christmas is fat sweet cherry tomatoes ripening in the sun on my balcony. I would love a little rain to ease the fire danger in the hills, but I had all the snow I need for life during college. It's funny the snowy people who said they can't even fathom green, if it weren't white it would be brown, they're right about their reality but you asked for a dream. I'm living the dream.

The other nice thing about being in Los Angeles at Christmas is that it's quiet and there's very little traffic, because so many people rushed off to visit the snow, either local skiing or far away.

Nope. Who doesn't love the idea of a winter wonderland Christmas?

Judging from the answers, it seems like no. And really, most people I know that live up north go somewhere warm in January or February, so get the escape then. I’m 45 and two winters ago I had my first white Christmas. And let me tell you, it was freaking MAGIC. We got like a foot to two feet depending where you were on the property. We were exposed to someone with Covid on Christmas Eve so for the next week we were sequestered away, with food and drinks and a beautiful winter wonderland. None of us ended up with covid but my daughters best friends grandfather is immunocompromised so we’re extra careful. We made a slide off the deck, walked in the woods behind the house, lounged around, did puzzles and read books, and just generally had the most peaceful and relaxed time.

I’ve always lived in warm places, and the Pacific Northwest now, so for me, snow is the most magic thing in the world.

I have always wondered what a white Christmas would be like.

Usually it is baking hot here, none of the "traditional" foods make sense...

Nope. Christmas just isn't Christmas without snow

I'm sure even the most hardened of Vikings would have preferred their Christmases green so they can go from place to place easily.

I don’t live anywhere cold now, but when I did it was in an urban area. Urban snow is pretty for a couple of hours max before the cars, people, pollution, shitting dogs, etc give it a disgusting tinge. It was also miserably cold to me, regularly getting down into the 10s and 20s F (-12 to -6 C).

I wouldn’t say I was dreaming of a green Christmas necessarily, but a white one isn’t all it’s cracked up to be if you’re not living in a cottage in the woods!
