In the past we have gone away in a group to European cities such as Prague and Barcelona, however this year, it's just going to be the two of us.
Before it was all about drinking but want this to be a bit more romantic. Also, want somewhere cold and snowing with fun things to do.

Availability will be a problem; but how about the Ice Hotel in Sweden? It does cost a fortune unfortunately. But there is plenty of snow related things to do as well as watching for the Northern Lights.
Kiruna (Near where the Ice Hotel is) sounds okay as well - and cheaper to stay at but with access to all the outdoor stuff. Be warned though - it get pretty cold (-17).
Estonia is also another option. Tallinn is a fantastic city and it's up to you whether you go out and get drunk a lot. If you want the outdoor activites though - you may need to go to Tartu (In the centre is Estonia) as a base for access.
This latter option is a lot cheaper, but lacks the romance of the Ice Hotel.

Hi!
Go to Iceland... I have always wanted to go so I can sit in the geothermal spas. They are suppose to be great for your health/body. Hopefully next year I will get to go...
Taken from Wikipedia...
One of the most popular activities in Iceland is visiting the geothermal spas and pools that can be found all around the country. Iceland is a stunningly beautiful place if you enjoy strange and desolate landscapes. Lava fields, lava tubes, plains of fractured rock, ice, fire and steam... Hitchhiking is a cheap way of getting around in Iceland. The country is among the safest in the world, people are quite friendly and the percentage of cars who do give rides is high, especially in the off-season. However, low traffic in areas outside Reykjavik makes hitchhiking in Iceland an endurance sport. Even on the main ring-road there is quite often less than one car an hour in the eastern parts. Nearly everybody speaks English and most drivers are interested in conversations.
T.

Copenhagen is supposed to be great for New Years. And it is somewhat romantic. For fun Tivioli is open over Christmas. I went skiing in Austria once for New Years and that was fun. It was in the Klein Walsertal. Me and my husband want to go to Karlovy Vary in Czech some time for a romantic winter ski trip.

Check out on the internet - I have heard there are ICE hotels in some parts of the world - perhaps Iceland? That would be pretty cool - and different - and maybe romantic?????

Istanbul - Turkey
No joke, the night life is awsome.
When you get there, try clubs as:
Angelique or la Reina
You have petit cafés next to the Bospurus, very romantic

Try anywhere in Austria. People are friendly and the atmosphere is great. They also usually have a good level of snow too.
