How about a trip to Germany
A Brief Summary
If you really like Christmas, Germany in December is wonderful. If you don’t like Christmas, then December isn’t really the month for you anywhere, so you might as well just go on holiday anyway! Christmas markets here are better than elsewhere.. A lot better! They’re bigger, better and both classier and cheesier in equal measure, in just about every way. The food and hot drinks on offer will stave off the worst of the almost certainly cold weather while you’re admiring enough snowglobes, trinkets and festive decor to fill your house a thousand times over. Once you’ve had enough of marketplace living and are somewhat full on Bratwurst and Gluhwein, head into the cities proper (be it Berlin, Munich or Cologne) and see the rest of what the best of Germany has to offer.. preferably indoors in the warm!

About the Weather
Eastern Germany’s winters are typified by cold, cloudy weather with frequent light snow showers and frosty nights. Temperatures below 0°c are common by day and night, with -15°c seen during cold weather and bitter easterly winds, most likely in February. Spring is slow to warm up, but by late April the weather is noticeably sunnier, if only averaging 15°c. Summers are warm, occasionally hot and relatively sunny, with 7-8 hours sunshine a day from May to August. September sees bright weather before October cools considerably before the onset of winter in November. Rainfall is very evenly spread throughout the year and intense and heavy rainfalls are relatively unusual for a region that sees rain on average every other day throughout the year.
