"...and if you look out of the right window, you'll notice that we're 15,000ft in the air and about to be dropped to our doom. Thanks for choosing Star Bus Tours".

Can't see it? Keep looking. Any minute now. There ya go! Well done, champ.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris

Appear cool and learned at parties by telling people at parties that, actually, in fact it DID snow in Cairo in 2013. So this is totally plausible.

Theres a French film called Des Chiens dans la Neige, which means Dogs in the Snow. The English title of the film was changed to Wolves in the Snow. This is not a picture of that film, but it is a picture of a wolf in snow.

The LocoRocos leap with joy, completely oblivious to the fact the Santa shape is trapped in the chimney and the fire below has melted most of his lower body.

Lost Planet

Evolution survival 101 - blend in with your surroundings. Mother Nature really did a number on these orange-assed beasts.

Madden 12

"Touchd...mmngghghg
