We were there in December last year as well as in 2007 and 2005 and it was never freezing. I am sure the part of Germany you are visiting also matters a great deal.

Sorry for the delay. I can't find the name of the place we stayed in Germany, but I do remember it wasn't in the Munich area. In Austria, we stayed at the Landhaus zu Appesbach in St Wolfgang.

Here are some websites that may help

As you look for a place, ask about holiday packages. Many family-friendly hotels have special rates/packages for long stays over the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Have fun.

In our experience, albeit w/2 younger kids, you could quite easily and comfortably budget 200 euros/day for your family. You can stay at a Holiday Inn in Munich for ~ 50 euros/nt. for the 4 of you. A family train pass in Bavaria is ~ 30 euros for all of you. You can eat supper for ~ 6-7 euros/person at a Doner, or at an inexpensive restaurant/cafes. For lunch, you can each sandwiches and snacks that you buy and make from the grocery. Go to any Lidl,Aldi, or the like to buy cheap groceries. You can buy 1.5 liters of bottled water there for 20 cents, including carbonated water. You can also buy inexpensive breakfast food at the grocery or stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Munich that includes a complimentary breakfast. You should have ample fundage left over in your budget for activities. With a little effort, one can still enjoy a European vacation without breaking the bank!
