This is serving the most Frozen vibes. I would love to live in one of these countries to experience the winter wonderland vibes and see wild reindeer just enjoying life. Imagine bundling up in a huge parka, hat, and mittens snowshoeing around town and petting your local reindeer. Sounds so magical.
