What's to advise? It will be cold. In Helsinki the open air
market at the head of the harbor will be open anyway. Check the
tourist office on the North Esplanadi near the market plaza for
info.

Much of downtown Helsinki is underground, making it esy to keep
out of the weather.

Are you going anywhere but Helsinki?

First it is a good idea to buy a traveling guide for Finland. I don't
have any for Finland myself, but I don't have anything but good
experiences with Lonely Planet guides.

First, this will give you many good ideas about what to do in Finland.
If you haven't traveled a lot together you will also find out if you
want to do the same things, during this process.

When you through with this proces you will have a lot of more concrete
questions, that probably will give you more and better answears than
this very general posting.

Have a nice planningprocess and holiday!

Best regards,

Jan

Helsinki is very quiet a place on 24th and 25th (especially at this date)
December and actually pretty much so on 26th. Fortunately public transport
operates much as usual contrary to rest of the country.

In southern Finland it is not unheard of that the temperature could
also be few degrees above the freezing point (and thus no guarantee
for white Xmas, snif), but on the other hand it could be well below
(records for Helsinki are +6°C and -27°C). Not exactly balmy in any
case, especially if there is wind and rain...

In Helsinki the open air market at the head of the harbor will be open
anyway. Check the tourist office on the North Esplanadi near the
market plaza for info.

I think¹ neither of these will be open during the holidays.

Much of downtown Helsinki is underground, making it esy to keep
out of the weather.

I think¹ Christmas day is about only day in the year when all the
shops at the underground mall at the railway station are closed.

Helsinki is very quiet a place on 24th and 25th (especially at this
date) December and actually pretty much so on 26th. Fortunately public
transport operates much as usual contrary to rest of the country.

Actually if HKL website² is correct: on Christmas Eve there is normal
transportation (Saturday timetables) only till 15:30 or so and next
day the public transportation restarts approximately at 11:30 with
Sunday timetables.

¹ Personally I'm going to join the hordes fleeing from the city for
the holidays...
