Yep, I’ve spent time in Finland and loved this… but for me it works better to skip the warm part and just do the cold.
However, the Finns in the winter did not seem to be happy at all, but mostly quite deep in seasonal depression.
I agree Finns don't usually look very happy. I think their suicide rates are quite high. They drink too much coffee and alcohol. But they do have a great democracy, society, education, healthcare, wealth equality, gender equality. So maybe these studies about happiness instead simply measure "Which people SHOULD be happiest in the world".
