In Switzerland look on the web sites for:
Meiringen Hasliberg - easyJet or Swiss Air Basle - overlooking the Egger
Grächen - easyJet or Swiss Air Geneva - overlooking Matterhorn
Both car free villages and reasonable prices for Switzerland and snow for Christmas!
Austria is more friendly but is generally lower and so maybe the snow will not be there (I've seen green slopes in Austria too many times) - there are a few truely car free resorts which is great for kids and parents but transfer times can be long. Look at:
Gargellen in the Montafon Vorarlberg - long transfer Zurich Swiss Air or BA
Serfaus or Obergurgl in Tyrol - Flights into Innsbruck
Katschberg or Turracher Höhe - RyanAir into Klagenfurt (both these resorts have great Childrens Hotels - even the toilets are lower for the kids)
All car free in the winter.
All resorts mentioned have loads of things to do like sauna swimming sledging snowshoe trekking paraskiing skiing snowboarding curling etc etc.
Have Fun
