By Kieran Corcoran PUBLISHED: 19:34 EST, 21 December 2013 | UPDATED: 19:35 EST, 21 December 2013 Some lucky Brits could be in for a white Christmas this year, according to new predictions from the Met Office.

According to the Met Office, heavy rain will pass late on Christmas Eve to make way for snowfall across the UK
