AHC have a mongol country in europe

The challenge is simple, one mongol horde, the golden horde, the silver horde, or any horde you wish, settles somewhere in europe and either survives as a independent country until modern day, or at least continues being the majority of the population in that certain area, the other part of the challenge is making them convert to christianity in the process, as the magyars did

An independent Kalmykia could fulfill part of your challenge. Kalmykia is geographically in Europe, and the Kalmyks are the descendants of Oirat Mongols. However, Kalmykia today is a Buddhist country and part of Russia, so the challenge would be getting them to convert to Christianity and stay independent...

Have Ogodei live a few years more to allow the Mongols to solidify the conquest of Hungary, and recreate the same system of steppe invaders entering into Pannonia and displacing the elite there. There's more than enough pastureland to settle the Mongol army. Furthermore, potential recruits could be invited from the Golden Horde (and given how much of a propensity for infighting the Golden Horde had, its likely many clans would migrate) or the Ilkhanate.

There's no way the mongols in hungary knew abour Ogodei's death when they retreated from hungary. Horses don't travel that fast. Most likely it was a combination of bad weather and diminishing supplies that meant they retreated.

But I think the crimea horde could have easily survived to modern day.
 
That's difficult for three reasons, one the Mongols never were never the majority outside of Mongolian this for the true for the Golden Horde. Second, even the Golden Horde which was the longest lasting Mongol state was prone to serious infighting, that there was not much of centralized state and you even saw other hordes and khanates split off from them, ie Kazan Astrakhan Crimea the Nogais and Siber. 3rd if don't consider the Qasim Khanate a qualifier for Mongol country in Europe you're out of luck, considering the later Golden Horde and it's successors had converted to Sunni Islam and the only real Christian ruler Sartaq Khan didn't last too long because of above infighting.

The Crimeans were tatars, not mongols :p

Well, any territory with mongol majority or any independent mongol region is valid, even a mongolian kingdom of ossetia would do it, a super mongol empire isn't needed

If you are that specific with your quantifiers, then it's impossible. The Mongols to the best of my knowledge never comprised a significant majority in areas outside of Mongolia, even with the Golden Horde it was a combination Turkic and various other peoples with Mongolians or their descendants as the rulers.
 
The Kalmyks already fulfill your challenge, and didn't even need to convert to Christianity. But since they live on the eastern edge of Europe, that might be an issue. I think if more Kalmyks had fled China from the impending fall of Dzungharia (or perhaps if a group of Kalmyks didn't migrate back to China), the modern territory of the Kalmyks could be bigger. There's also the potential they could've arrived in one of the best parts of Europe for a steppe horde, Southern Ukraine, or "the Wild Fields" as it was called back then, and set up a state there, playing off Poland-Lithuania and Russia until it was too late. They might've had to convert to Christianity at that point, or could've stayed Buddhist despite being conquered, and later re-emerged in the age of nationalism as a Mongol-speaking (well, related language to Mongol) state in Europe. The problem with getting them there is they'd have to punch through an area well-populated by Cossacks and others, but with luck they might've been able to.
