Bid for a white ChristmasFor the second year in a row Sno!zone are auctioning a real white Christmas for one lucky bidder. On Christmas Eve they’ll receive a delivery of ten tonnes of snow to be professionally spread around their house and garden. Of course it wouldn’t be complete without carol singers and a visit from Father Christmas who will bring a sack of presents for the winner.

The auction is to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and runs until 2nd December. Get your bids in early and it could be you and your family having a snowball fight the night before Christmas!

    But what would you do if you paid 2k for example and then it broke into the biggest snow storm in history on Dec 24th?

    The last official white Christmas was in 1976, sure it could happen, but the auction terms offer “an alternative prize or will be refunded in full” in the unlikely event that it really snows :-)
