Nuremberg Christmas market is great - I went last year (FT Do) my trip report: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...e-weekend.html (the thread about the do in Community buzz also ended up fairly picture rich iirc).
I think you could get your Christmas market fix in Southern Germany - Nuremberg is less than two hours from Munich and I think Rothenburg is pretty close. It would also be handy for your ski trip - Munich is two hours by train from Innsbruck which would be a good area to head for if you wanted to go skiing and Innsbruck is handy for heading into Switzerland (or Liechtenstein).
Not sure about the warmth/food/sunshine aspect of the trip. Turkey maybe?

Definitely visiting Munich and Nuremberg. Austria is Salzburg and Innsbrick. Czech is Prague and Swiss is Lucerne and Liechtenstein.
Might go to Turkey for the warmth and food prior to the Christmas festive and Spain too. Using Star Alliance Europe Airpass for this.

Thanks for the reply guys. Im actualy traveling in 2015 but will buy tickets a year ahead cos I have OCD when it comes to planning my trip well.
Im buying tickets not using miles. Might use some miles on domestic flights in Spain.
Im removing Nordic for now but focusing on Germany, Austria, Swiss Alps.
How about Spain? Is it good to travel during winter?

It definitely won't be warm enough for a beach at any place except the Canary Islands.
