1	'''Basic Trope''': It's always a snowy winter in Christmas.
2	* '''Straight''': Whenever it's winter, it snows enough to give a nice, even coat on the ground.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': At midnight on the winter solstice, there is a huge snowfall that creates an instant "white Christmas."
4	* '''Downplayed''': Winter scenes are accompanied by sparse flurries of snowfall.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** The story is set in northern UsefulNotes/{{Michigan}}, which really does get regular and thick winter snowfall.
7	** It's always 'winter' at the pole.
8	* '''Inverted''': The story is set in UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}, where [[UsefulNotes/ChristmasInAustralia Christmas takes place on a hot summer day]].
9	* '''Subverted''': The characters walk through a field of snow, which turns out to be from the snow machine at a ski resort.
10	* '''Double Subverted''': …but the next day, there's a blizzard that leaves a ''real'' field of snow behind it.
11	* '''Parodied''':
12	** At Christmas midnight in Australia, the temperature instantly drops from 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) to zero (32 Fahrenheit), and a half-meter of snow falls in less than one hour. The day after Christmas, the temperature jumps back up and the snow instantly melts.
13	** In the future, people celebrate a white Christmas on ''UsefulNotes/{{Venus}}''.
14	* '''Zig Zagged''': The story takes place over several years. Some of these years have thick snowfalls, but others don't.
15	* '''Averted''': The story is set in UsefulNotes/{{Florida}}, so no snow is present.
16	* '''Enforced''':
17	** The creators want to make Christmas magical.
18	** It's easier to design it like that than make it realistic
19	* '''Lampshaded''': "As you can see by the greeting-card snowfall, it is winter."
20	* '''Invoked''':
21	** A weather machine is built to make snowing possible.
22	** Santa Claus [[LetThereBeSnow makes it snow]] so that everyone can have a white Christmas.
23	** A UsefulNotes/{{Miami}} resident goes on vacation to UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} to experience a white Christmas.
24	* '''Exploited''': Once the snow has fallen, people spend their Christmas making snowmen, going on sleigh rides, etc.
25	* '''Defied''': The characters go to Honolulu, UsefulNotes/{{Hawaii}} for a tropical Christmas.
26	* '''Discussed''': "Of ''course'' it's snowing. It's Michigan, isn't it?"
27	* '''Conversed''': "White Christmases are the best ones, aren't they?"
28	* '''Deconstructed''': The snowfall is so heavy as to impede traffic, making it inconvenient or impossible to have Christmas fun outside.
