So, driving north from Virginia. We want snow, but we don’t ski.
We would love 1-2 towns in VT or NH that are snowy, or a darn good chance of having snow on the ground that week.
Family like arts, food, parks and an actual winter for a week.
Thanks in advance.

My crystal ball is in the shop right now, but you have a pretty good chance of snow anywhere in VT in January. And it’s likely to be bitter cold too. Not sure what kind of parks you want, but snow and cold are going to make playgrounds largely unusable, and those with walking paths are mostly not cleared of snow and ice.
Thank you. Just views. Maybe a short walking trail.
Waitsfield/Warren and Waterbury/Stowe
Go for the touristy ski resorts like Killington, Sugerbush and/or Stowe. Even if there’s 12 feet of snow on the ground, they’ll be cleared enough for you to get there without snow tires. If it’s been 35F for three weeks, they’ll have the snow machines running so you get white stuff anyway.
You try going up a road that’s snow covered hard pack gravel, you’ll definitely remember your trip because of the actual winter, but not so much the arts, food or parks.
Edit: Bad spellers of the the world UNTIE!
Honestly, Woodstock would be the best I think. There’s snow everywhere so you’ll be good, Woodstock has all the stuff you want, and will give you the hallmark “vermont” stuff you’re expecting. But just know that it’s not actually a reflection of Vermont. Haha
You’ll have billings museum which is fun, and there’s also the Rockefeller place which you can probably do some hiking. If you’re up for that, just be careful if you’re not used to walking in the winter.
I came here to say this. Woodstock is convenient and touristy and very very pretty. Sounds like it would be a fun time for OP.
You know those lists are promoted and not authentic, right?

I’d recommend West Dover or Wilmington.
Chittenden and stay at the Mountain Top Inn. Used to work there. Can’t speak for service today, some 30 years later, but I know the scenery hasn’t changed and that place is a little piece of heaven.
The first week of January could be anything. This year I went golfing on New Year’s Day in long sleeves and had a blast. It might be snowy…it might be 50 degrees. It could also be bare ass grass and minus 20.
This is what we are afraid of. Hopefully getting more inland will help.
