This is the 4th time you've posted the same question in the last 2 hours. The editors have already deleted 2 of the posts since they are redundant. You need to be aware of the time difference between Australia and the northern hemisphere. Most people in Europe and the US who would answer your posts are sleeping.
The best things to see are very subjective and there are too many to list here. You're looking for information on 2 countries and 6 cities. The best thing for you to do is to read some guide books and determine what things you would like to see based on your interests.
What is there to do during the winter? The same things there is to do during the summer except there won't be any flowers in the gardens and you won't be sunning on the beach.
Get a map and see how far apart the places are and how much area you want to cover in a short time. Get some guide books and start reading. Decide why you choose the places you're going to see - there must be something there that attracted you to these countries/cities. You can click on Destinations at the top of the screen where fodor's have given you a built in guide book.

Some places are going to be closed or have reduced opening times in winter.
It will get dark early at that time of the year.
Most of the places you have mentioned will be cold. There may be snow. Sometimes the weather can disrupt travel rather badly.
I hope you aren't planning to do all those places in such a short time. It may be possible, but I don't think it will be fun.
Have you checked if there are any Visa requirements for the countries you want to visit?

A friend of mine went to Europe for 30 days and she did 4 countries and 8 cities, and she said the time was not sufficient.
You need to realize what the traveling distance from one country to another. If your taking the train or flying? There is a lot to consider. First you need to choose your 2-3 countries that you want to visit, then the cities you wnat to visit in each country. Taking into consideration your travel time, decide how much time you are able to spend in one city and what you want to see. But your first step is pick the places you want to go to.
And yes check for the visa requirments for these countries

A few basics
It gets cold and temperatures vary a lot year to year so you could have feet of snow in Berlin at -10C or it could be just chucking rain down at 5C. Ditto for the other cities.
London, Ireland, Berlin, Milan , Venice, Paris, Rome, Switzerland.
The days get pretty short and you can expect greyness from say 8:30 am to 4:30 pm followed by night time. Generally the further inland you go on the continent the more likely are extremes of temperature.
Next thing is the place closes down for Christmas and New Year, but not every country clebrates the same days. But basically if you are in London on Christmas day and you have not booked a meal by around mid December, you may not eat that day. Ditto across the place.
If yoiu have never been in these climates you will not believe how unpleasant it can get so you need to come with or buy here a bunch of basic layered clothing to enjoy the outdoors.
Now the good news, the continent has cheepo airlines look at skyscanner and very good train systems with buses as a further backup. Each country has its own train system and so if you want an over view look at
www.bahn.de for the mainland
www.nationalrail.co.uk for UK
http://www.irishrail.ie/ for Southern Ireland rail
http://www.translink.co.uk/NI-Railways/ for Northern Ireland rail
