Hold onto your hats, folks! It's time for the most anticipated, absolutely unpredictable, and undeniably thrilling Christmas Day Snow Forecast—Texas Edition. Cue the drumroll, please!

Our expert meteorologists have been hard at work, and after extensive analysis, they've unveiled a map of Texas with not one, not two, but three glorious colors—all of which scream, "No snow for you!" In fact, each shade represents a different level of wishful thinking:

First up, we have "Sunburn Scarlet," which indicates those areas dreaming of a frosty Christmas but instead will be basking in the warm embrace of sunshine and SPF 50. Next, there's "Key Lime Green" where residents are encouraged to swap their snow boots for flip-flops and enjoy a festive beach party in their backyard. Finally, "Snowman White" covers regions where you might find Santa trading his sleigh for a surfboard and reindeer for dolphins.

So, dear Texans, forget the snowmen and woolen mittens. Instead, grab your sunglasses, fire up the grill, and celebrate the Texas way—under the blazing sun. Who needs a white Christmas when you can have a tan one, right?
