December is honestly a great time to catch Europe in full winter mode: snow, Christmas markets, mountains, hot drinks in your hands. Switzerland, Austria and Finland are the first names most people choose, but they’re nothing alike. Snow in Europe in December can mean skiing in the Alps, walking around a snowy village, or going full Arctic with reindeer and huskies.  So which one’s best? Depends. Do you want snow, activities, festive markets, or something the whole family can enjoy without anyone getting cranky?
