unlikely scenario that came merrily around end of December...

I get the answer as A White Christmas, but I don't know why.

I suppose it's just because it happens so infrequently these days but we'd all be happy if it did appear.

MargeSimpson, did you ever figure this one out?  I couldn't make sense of the wordplay either.  Clues can sometimes be misprinted, and I tried to think of a variant that would work.  "Unlikely scenario IS WISH THAT CAME merrily around end of DecembeR" would work, technically, but it's not very convincing.

I agree, SHB65.

THAT CAME and R is in the letters of A WHITE CHRISTMAS but that does indeed leave WISH IS.

But Danword has the same clue and answer as given by Marge.

As SHB has said, ''IS WISH THAT CAME + (Decembe) R'' is an anag of A White Christmas

That is in Wordplays.com, newmodarmy, but those online solvers aren't always accurate
