Christmas Day won’t see any snow, although there could be a few people wearing flip-flops and wearing sun cream according to Ladbrokes

The odds of this Christmas being the warmest on record have been slashed by bookies according to Ladbrokes.

The bookmaker has also had to suspend all betting on snow markets as punters are set to scoop up to £20,000 following a series of shrewd bets during the earlier cold snap that we would avoid all snow in the UK on Christmas Day.

It's now just 2/1 (from 20/1) that the record is broken in England and 3/1 (from 20/1) that Scotland basks in unseasonably mild conditions for the time of year.

Warm-weather madness could also spread to the Royal Family as the the bookies offer 100/1 that any member is spotted in flip-flops during their stay at Sandringham. It's 500/1 Christmas shoppers panic-buying suncream cause supermarkets to sell out and just even money that a national newspaper carries a picture (taken on Christmas Day) of a child eating an ice cream or building a sandcastle on a beach.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: "This mild weather gamble has got us sweating just as much as the rising temperatures. Punters are now banking on the mercury continuing to rise for a bumper Christmas pay-day."

He added: "If any Royal decides to step out in beach wear things will go from bad to worse."
