Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': Someone asks a supernatural person (usually {{God}} or SantaClaus) for [[DreamingOfAWhiteChristmas snow on Christmas]] despite it not usually snowing where they live. They're successful.
* '''Straight''': Little Alice lives in Florida but wants it to snow on Christmas, so she writes to Santa. The next morning, it's Christmas and it is indeed snowing.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice lives in Australia, where Christmas is in the summer, but it still snows when she writes about it to Santa.
** Alice writes to Santa asking for snow and then instantly there's a whole blizzard.
** Alice writes to Santa asking it to snow, which it does-- ''all over the entire Earth''.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Alice lives in England, where snow falls less than half the time on Christmas but it's not too unlikely, so while it does indeed snow after she writes to Santa, [[SantaAmbiguity it may have been a coincidence.]]
** Alice writes to Santa asking for snow and on Christmas it does snow, but not enough to make a snowman.
* '''Justified''': Santa [[AnIcePerson can control snow]].
* '''Inverted''': Alice writes to Santa, asking for the blizzard to go away on Christmas. It does.
* '''Subverted''':
** Alice writes to Santa and asks for snow, [[RealityEnsues but because she's still in Florida, it doesn't snow.]]
** Alice writes to Santa asking it to snow and then it ''appears'' to be snowing, but it turns out that Bob set up a snow machine.
** Alice writes to Santa asking for it to snow, then the next day it's snowing... because they're visiting Canada for Christmas.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** Not until nighttime.
** But when Bob turns the snow machine off, it starts to actually snow.
** But then when they're in Canada, they watch the news, which is reporting snow in Florida.
* '''Parodied''':
* '''Zigzagged''': Alice writes to Santa asking for it to snow on Christmas. Christmas Day has very changeable weather, where it sometimes snows, sometimes rains, and sometimes it's sunny.
* '''Averted''':
** Alice does not ask for snow.
** There is no ChristmasEpisode.
** Alice lives in Norway, so it nearly always snows on Christmas anyway.
* '''Enforced''':
* '''Lampshaded''': "Santa must exist if it's snowing in Florida!"
* '''Invoked''': Santa says, "Come on, write to me for snow and I'll see what I can do."
* '''Exploited''':
* '''Defied''': "There's no way I'm writing to Santa for snow. We live in Florida, it ain't gonna happen."
* '''Discussed''': "So if you write to Santa asking for snow, can he provide if you live in Florida?"
* '''Conversed''': "Y'know, writers, snow isn't ''necessary'' for a merry Christmas."
* '''Implied''': Snow is seen on Christmas in Florida and Santa is seen winking, but there was no mention of him being written to.
* '''Deconstructed''':
* '''Reconstructed''':
* '''Played for Laughs''':
* '''Played for Drama''': This results in someone getting hypothermia.
