If no plans to go beyond Manali passing through Rohtang Pass to higher Himalayas, best time to visit Manali is December and January. I always enjoy visiting Manali when it is time to snow. If there is less snow than one can reach upto Rohtang Pass from where River Beas originates. At the hieght of more than 15,000 feet above the sea level, Rohtang Pass is the gateway to Lahaul (Kellong), Spiti (Kaza) and Leh. When there is heavy snow, one can reach upto Marhi or maximum upto Kothi. Even Sonal Nala which is very close to Manali looks beautiful when covered with white snow. Otherwise, Manali itself has got its own beauty. Devdar forest, Hidamba Temple, Hot water streams are some of the places which are beautiful as always in all the seasons. Quick walk on the small Mall road is also nice. Always enjoyed being at Manali. Himalaya is something which i cant resist seeing again and again.
