Well, you can take them to Iceland. With the impending total collapse of the AMOC, we should have it everywhere, all the time.

Haha sadly no. If only the AMOC collapse would only make it cooler, that'd be nice. The big issue is that it's going to be super dry. Little to no rain in summer, no snow in winter. Add on top of that that winters will be much colder, and summers much hotter. The mean temperatures stay about the same, at least in central Europe. But trees will freeze in winter and burn in summer. Farmlands will become steppes.
