Very rarely, temperatures below -25°C, maybe up to -27°C aren´t fully excluded.

Poprad is the biggest city under the highest part of Carpathians, with a population of almost 60 000. It belongs to TOP10 biggest Slovakian cities nowadays.
In the last days, before Christmas, -33,3°C was measured in Switzerland, but in 1200 MASL and not a very densely populated region of Jura Alps /https://mkweather.com/amburnex-combe-switzerland-333c-the-strongest-frosts-of-winter-2021-2022-in-continental-europe-so-far//.
In Serbia, in the similar elevation, -23,8°C was before the Christmas measured /https://mkweather.com/karajukica-bunari-serbia-238c-balkan-eastern-europe-and-the-baltic-regions-with-15-20c-the-next-mornings-will-be-colder//.
During an early December 2021 coldwaves, the lowest temperature was measured in southeastern France, -22,0°C /https://mkweather.com/220c-in-pontets-france//.
Slovakia should be, therefore, a possible winner of the coldest temperature in early December winter blasts in European mid-latitudes (continental Europe) in densely populated regions below 1000, or only below 800 or below 600 MASL, because in the morning 27. December 2021, very probably will be measured the lowest temperature in mid-latitudes (continental Europe) in the month, so far, with a possibility of around -25/-27°C.
Extremely cold should be southern Poland or northern Hungary, and extreme frosts are waiting for western Ukraine, too.
Already in a few hours, we will see, how deep will minimum temperature decrease, and Mkweather will update information from the Carpathians.
