Other than the holiday kind of things -- including holiday parties -- usually December and January aren't so charming, absent snow (which isn't as reliable to stick in Copenhagen, or even in Oslo, as in Stockholm IME).
What I'm reading is that unlike Austria or Germany there aren't good Christmas markets and a lack of snow... What am I going into, I thought that it was snow central up there during winter, clearly the cities I'll be in are too far South?
Thank you for your response.
