Application late November - any chances of offers before Christmas?

Finished my personal statement and submitted my application nearly a month ago, but due to deays with my referee it looks like my application won't be received by unis until next week. Was hoping to have an offer or two so I could start the Xmas season on a good note - but given that it'll only just be in by late November do I have any chance of getting any offers before Christmas? I have top predicted grades, a good PS and a glowing reference, but I don't know whether that's likely to make any difference to the order that offers are given. I've applied to Bristol, York, Nottingham, UCL and Warwick.

It's unlikely IMO, but not impossible! What subject are you applying for?

English and Philosophy at the majority and just English at ucl. It's so annoying because I could have easily had my application in by late October/early November if my referees hadn't faffed about!

Some people have had offers the same day, some don't get them until March. It depends on the course you're applying for, the uni itself, the grades you're predicted compared to the grades you need to get to be on the course (entry requirements) etc
