If you won an all expense paid for trip over the week of Christmas (let's be unrealistic and say you could take as many family members with you as want and their expenses would be paid for as well), which of the following four cities would you pick?
Don't just vote strictly based on climate although you can take it into consideration..
London- most likely a chilly and damp Christmas with a small but not trivial chance of a white one.
Chicago- good chance of a White Christmas...and almost guaranteed at least one day of snowfall during the week.
Honolulu- guaranteed warm Christmas with swimming/beach weather
Los Angeles- good chance of mild to warm weather for most of the week and maybe one or two coolish to mild days of rain. Small chance of rain every day. Also a small, but not trivial chance of true "Honolulu-like" warm beach days (although both the water temperature and the night air temperatures will definitely be a lot colder even with Honolulu-like daytime highs).
Think of the tourist attractions you'd like to do during Christmas week during these cities as well.

I'd choose London hands down cuz it's the furthest away from me and I'd love to see England for my first trip outside of the U.S. I'd want to see all tourist attractions in London and listen to the adorable British accents all over the place and then also see the countryside as well.
Damp and chilly rainy weather? That's what raincoats are for..
Chicago? I've never been there before and WOULD like to experience a white Christmas for a change so that's my second choice..
Honolulu? Been there and loved it...would be willing to go again as a third choice. Since I can't get a White Christmas in my hometown, I might as well go for an 80 degree one (which also doesn't happen in my hometown).
Los Angeles? Been there too many times to count and have lots of extended family there, have spent a few Christmases there. It's not even a novelty for me.
Honolulu easily for me Been there before and loved it! I'd love to spend Xmas day just lying on the beach in 80 degree weather and listening to Xmas carols like "I'm dreaming of a white Xmas" LOL
LA would be my second choice... mild to warm and I could go to Disneyland on Xmas day! YAY!! (provided it's open) and Mickey Mouse and friends
London would be 3rd. It's fairly chilly and damp but lots of museums and attractions there
Chicago would be dead last.. depressing and most likely snowcovered... YUCK!

Interesting there's not a Southern Hemisphere option there, Full Overcast's beloved "Perrrrrrrrfffffffffffffff" would best even Honolulu's Christmas weather for sun and warmth.
But for me, it's Chi-town/The Windy City, the best chance of a White Christmas out of that lot, but still not ideal. Northern Maine, Montreal or Thunder Bay would be better.
