The forecaster polled people via twitter and just over half wanted snow.

Met Éireann gave those who voted an early prediction after the poll closed

"It's too early to give a definitive forecast for Christmas Day, although our guidance suggests it will be relatively settled, mostly dry with temps above average.

We will soon be preparing the weather forecasts for Christmas Day. But what would you like to see?
