This is when character wants snow for Christmas where it doesn't usually snow, so he asks Santa Claus, or sometimes God, for snow in a tropical or arid locale that maybe sees it once a century if at all. At the end of the episode, it miraculously starts snowing, thus verifying the existence of the jolly fat man (or the Man Upstairs). A Snowball Fight is likely, to show them appreciating it. For some characters, it will be a First Snow. Sometimes the "snow" will not actually be snow at all, but something like laundry soap flakes. Expect characters in that case to either not notice, barely notice, or just not care. A Sister Trope to Dreaming of a White Christmas (when it usually is snowing around that time). |

Hair uses this trope in a particularly heartbreaking way — Claude prays and shouts at the sky for snow early in the musical, and his wish is granted. But only after he's died, and can see the snow only as a ghost. | |

Parodied in an episode of The Simpsons, in which Bart asks God for some extra time to study for his finals so he can pass his grade. The next morning, school is canceled for a freak snowstorm in late spring. And then he actually studies. Well, he was originally going to go play outside, except Lisa heard his prayer and guilts him out of it. | |

While it wasn't exactly asked for, during Duke's time as the Governor of American Samoa back in the '70s in Doonesbury, he's standing on a beach dictating a letter to Washington listing the various natural disasters that have hit the island, with a note wondering what could happen next. Which leads to this exchange: | |

Calvin and Hobbes: Subverted many a time; Calvin often begs, yells, prays, chants and on one occasion, even dressed as a snowman as part of a decoy, to get snow but is always disappointed. Then again, it may be because he keeps praying to "snow demons" instead of God... Then there's the time Calvin is standing at the bus stop alone, and pleads with the Powers That Be for snow. He gets a torrential downpour. |

Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh subverts this, a little girl wishes for snow at Christmas in her tropical home and Drake and Josh deliver on this via a wood chipper... eventually. It wasn't working until "Crazy Steve" loaded it up with hard cheese instead of Drake and Josh's original plan, ice, which didn't go to well for them - smashing windows and causing other massive property damage. | |

In an episode of Rugrats, the adults set up to take their Christmas pictures in the middle of July or something because they never get it right, and the babies start worrying that since they didn't know it was Christmas, Santa wouldn't know, either. They end up trying to ask the weatherman on TV to make it snow (because he controls the weather, right?). It does end up "snowing", but it's a washer with too much laundry soap. | |

It always snows in Barney Christmas specials, always, and it's made all the funnier by the show having been produced in Texas. The town in the series could be anywhere in America, but the young viewers don't know that, and the show makes references to cowboys and the like just a bit more often than your average children's show. Combine all that, and it seems like Barney makes it snow in Texas every Christmas just because he can. | |

The Doctor does this in "The Runaway Bride" episode of Doctor Who, but he's not God or Santa, even if he sometimes thinks he is ("red bicycle when you were 12"). It also snows in "The Christmas Invasion" but it's not snow: it's falling ash from an exploded spaceship. Urgh. And in "Voyage of the Damned" it snows again, but this time it's the ash from the Titanic. So when he lands on earth at the end of "Waters of Mars", he's pleased to see "real proper snow at last!" (He got some real snow in "Planet of the Ood", too, but that wasn't Christmas-related, so...) Except then he's lost his mind, so it's not exactly happy fun times. In the original script, even the "Waters of Mars" snow was fake — it was a "carbon wash" cleaning up pollution, and Doctor's mistaking it for snow made the surviving humans even more suspicious of him. But apparently the creators felt that a fourth installment of the most macabre Running Gag ever would be a little much on top of the events of the episode. The Doctor finally provides real proper snow, at Christmas, without any subversion in "A Christmas Carol", when he shuts down the forcefield suppressing the cloud of ice-crystals. |

Happens on Jimmy Two-Shoes in "A Cold Day in Miseryville", in which Heloise is inspired by Jimmy telling her and Beezy about snow to give Miseryville its first ever winter. Since Miseryville is essentially Fire and Brimstone Hell by another name, this quite an accomplishment. | |

In the The Looney Tunes Show episode, "A Christmas Carol", it becomes 104 degrees in Bugs and Daffy's neighborhood, so the episode's B-plot has Foghorn Leghorn build a giant fan in the North Pole so it can spread snow to the rest of the world, and have Daffy Duck assist him. When they get to the North Pole, they are unable to find a place to plug the fan in, but fortunately for them, Santa Claus was able to help them out. | |

This is half the plot of The Year Without a Santa Claus: the mayor of Southtown, U.S.A. will help Santa Claus get a year off only if Jingle and Jangle can make it snow. They, Iggy and Mrs. Claus have to go to Snow Miser, but he can only help if his brother Heat Miser allows him, and the two despise each other. | |
