If it snows where you live, then you can’t let the season pass by without making at least one snowman. Santa, Jack Frost, and even the Easter Bunny will be disappointed if you don’t make one your own. To get you started, check out these inspirations!
Shouldn’t Have Traveled
This is a scene straight out of Gulliver’s Travels. The little islanders have captured him and are taking him down. This little creation is fun to do with kids who get to make their own mini snowmen.
1) Oopsie Daisy
Why build a snowman rightside up when you can build him upside down? This is an awesome idea if you want to switch things up while still keeping it simple and easy.
2) We Want Work Benefits
These little snowmen look like they are about to tear the house down. It was an incredible feat to make these little guys and it would be a hilarious thing to do while whoever lives in the house is sleeping.
3) This is Hallo-Christmas?
This is one scary looking snowman. He looks like he belongs in October. But maybe he loves Christmas just as much as Jack does. How do you get those eyes? Try charcoal!
4) Snowman, I Am
Yes, this needs done again and again. If you don’t have much snow, go for Baby Yoda and impress even more people. But beware, people will stop to take pictures.
5) Fancy Meeting You In There
This was done while one roommate was still asleep. Nothing like waking up to a pair of button eyes staring at you through your window. Creepy, but a memory that will be treasured.
6) We Come in Peace
This looks amazing and all you need are snow mounds and a few glowsticks. It’s as easy as that! So, buy a pack and get to work. Pictures are best taken at dusk or right after.
7) I Want One
This kitty is a cutie! You’ll notice soon that cats are a popular replacement for snow people. This one looks a little like a zombie and a lot like an anime creation come to life.
8) Throw Me a Frickin’ Bone Here
Although he is a bit happy, the cat reminds me of Dr. Evil. Who are we kidding? These two are much too pleasant for that. But it was fun to imagine it.
9) I’m a Simple Man
Okay, so, this is just proof that you don’t need a fancy blueprint or accessories to make a decent looking snowman. Anyone can do it and you can improvise in any way that you want!
10) Bout to Get Pulled Over
This is a great idea, until you get pulled over by a cop. At least he can’t really do anything to a snowman. If he locks him up then the snowman will die and the cop will be responsible. No one wins.
11) Let Me In
This snowman looks like he got his snow tongue stuck to the glass. The poor little guy needs help but it doesn’t look like he’s getting it. Regardless, he is the cutest thing in the world.
12) His Last Wish
This snowman’s last wish was for his behind not to be posted on the internet. And yet, here we are. The poor soul will haunt whoever did this every Christmas from now on.
13) Let Him Go!
The poor kid never knew what hit him. He thought that if he gave Frosty gloves that he would come alive and be his friend not his enemy. This is an interesting turn of events.
14) Just One Moment
This is the snowman we deserve and the snowman we need. He is on his phone just like everyone else. You’re probably even looking at him on your phone.
15) Exterminate
All this Dalek wants for Christmas is to exterminate whoever brought him to life. Who is he working for anyway? Krampus? Anyway, this is very well done. The plunger was a good addition.
16) I’ll Keep It Safe
What better way to include the mailmen this holiday season then decking your mailbox out with snow? No one will steal your decorations and everyone gets to feed the hungry snowman.
17) It’s Still Water
This mermaid is perfect. Whoever thought it was a good idea to build a snowmermaid was a genius! Makes you wonder what else they can do. Maybe this year it will be a dragon!
18) Wait…Now I’m Confused
Which one is which? Are there two snowdogs or two real dogs? Are they twins? Littermates? If only one is real then which one is it! If you have a white dog, you have to try this.
19) And Your Little Dog Too
This is brilliant because now the little snowman can travel anywhere you go with you. If you ride your bike in the snow, that is. He even has a bird nest hat in case you meet any friendly birds on the way.
20) I’m Just Going to Lay Here
Have you ever done exactly what this snowman is doing? You just slide down a slide and just lay there? His face says it all. He’s decently content but he could also break at any moment.
21) This Police Force Rules
This police department in West Midland celebrated the holidays by building these snowmen. Now what a way to help people feel closer to the men in blue.
22) He’s About To Turn
This is exactly what the real Frosty would have looked like. He looks like he is straight from the cartoon. Which leaves us with one thing to say. Happy Birthday!
23) Don’t Ask Questions
We don’t know what kind of witch this is but it is rather scary. Great use of a broomstick and once again it’s a Happy HalloChristmas. Or is a Christween? That’s just weird.
24) Am I a Joke to You?
Really, Karen? Is this how you see me? You thought I was house trained but I’ll prove you wrong after this little fiasco. How humiliating it would be to be portrayed in such a way.
25) Killed the Radio Star
This mohawking dude is super fly, isn’t he? What a great use of props. It makes you want to find even better props to use. The goal is to bring your snowman to life.
26) Don’t Eat It
Remember to not eat the yellow snow. How they made these minions so realistic is beyond human comprehension, but again, there needs to be more snowsculpting contests.
27) Where Am I?
This crazy snowman reminds me of Sybill Trelawney from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. She probably has a few things to teach us but those eyes are hard to look away from.
28) That’s My Brother!
Psych! This kid is an only child. So who is it that the snowman is eating? Oh brother, and we don’t mean that literally this time. All you need are sticks, preferably hockey sticks, to reimagine this one.
29) This Girl About to Carol
This beautiful young snowwoman is ready for a night of caroling. She has her favorite cedar crown and pink scarf. No one will be able to resist her gorgeous alto now.
30) Christmas with Friends
This looks like a Normal Rockwell painting. You know, because it’s all Christmassy, sentimental, and about family? Yep, I’d totally hang this on my wall.
31) Chattering Chester
This snowman has more personality than all of the other snowman on the list combined. He is jolly, funny, and he has style. But he is a bit of a gossip. You can’t have everything.
32) How in the World?
This looks so impossible that it’s hard to believe it. This snow man is as big as a mountain and twice as big as that house. We don’t know how this happened but we are glad it did.
33) I Didn’t Make the Yellow Snow
This camouflaged is hard to spot, so maybe his name is Spot! He is a cute one but he still insists that the yellow snow was created by the cat, which we still don’t believe.
34) Holidays are Tough
Christmas is hard for some people. Maybe it’s the stress of not having enough money, your family fighting, or bad memories altogether. This snowman really needs a better outlet though.
35) Derpy Christmas
This is one derpy snowman but we love him even more for it. Yes, there is something quite icky in his mouth but he doesn’t like to talk about it. It is, after all, the cause of his angry brows.
36) Not So Good at This
Poor snowman isn’t so good at snow sports. Even though he has a broom and a racket for hands. You’d think he’d do better but oh well, guess his genetics are cosmetic only.
37) Snow Face
Yes, this is Snow Face, another Studio Ghibli creation that we can’t get enough of. It is so simple to make yet so beautiful. If you have a mask, give this a try.
38) Remember Recess?
This looks like The King from Recess and it brings back so many memories! He sure is a cutie and was quite helpful in the movie. We shall not be moved!
39) Nothing to See Here
Don’t trust this Calvin and Hobbes inspired snowman. He destroyed every other snowman on the field just so he himself could enjoy a nice glass of water.
40) You Might Want to Look Away
Best not to look too long at this evil Krampus. He is a snowman slayer and his job isn’t done yet. Want to know how to get those red teeth and eyes? The secret is Red Hots!
41) He’s a Lucky One
This lucky cat is 50% chubs and 100% cute. He may have been overfed but at least he’s happy and adorable. Just look at his Snorlax body, ready for a long cat nap.
42) Catman Returns
This is a cute littel cat with a snowman’s body. Makes you wonder if snowcats would have regular cat bodies or snowmen bodies anyway. Now that is a question!
43) Snowy Shark Do-Do-Do-Do
Shark bait, ooh ha ha! This is genius as well. Sculpt a shark and half a snowman for this one. Make it even more realistic with a life jacket that is only going to slow this guy down.
44) It’s a Riot
This poor guy is either being severely bullied or got run over by a car. Either way, those two snowmen up front look very guilty and are probably going to court very soon.
45) Save Yourself!
Want blood this convincing? Try ketchup, cherry preserves, or just fake blood leftover from Halloween. Though I wouldn’t recommend this atrocity if you have kids. Yikes!
46) Please Do Not Take Pictures
If you have police tape by some chance, then this is an amazing way to crack a cold case. Or at least leave the mystery for all of your neighbors to wonder about.
47) The “I Scuffed Your Car” Apology
This is the easiest snowman you’ll ever build and though it does not make up for hitting someone’s car, it’s a place to start. So long as you leave your own name and number as well.
48) He’s a Talented One
This took a lot of effort. But it’s going to take even more effort to get down. He used a ladder to reach the top but then he knocked it down. We don’t want to see what happens next.
49) The Agony
This is s scene from Calvin and Hobbes, as many gruesome snowmen are inspired by the comic strip. Would you rather see this or another Snoopy?
50) Who Are You Going to Call Now? Santa?
This man is Michellin. Yeah, he has evil eyes but that’s okay. We have Santa and the Ghostbusters on speed dial. You won’t ruin this Christmas!
51) Miffy or Molang?
Who else watched the Dutch-American series known as Miffy and Friends? Who else still collects memorabilla? This little guy is so adorable and people are still arguing about who it is!
52) Every Teen on Christmas
This is everyone pretty much. On their computer during the entirety of Christmas break. Mom says to go outside and play and this is your solution. If only he knew what that would do to his PC.
53) Crossing the Border
This snowman is looing to hitch a ride to Florida. He must live up north and is tired of the snow. Though I wonder if he knows what happens when he reaches a land above freezing?
54) This Should Win Contests
This should 100% win contests because the snow is perfect and it looks like this was all made out of foam. But it wasn’t. It was just made by someone who should be famous.
55) He’s My Friend, Not Yours
This is none of your business. You have no idea what his friend did to him. Something that deserves a week underground. Don’t worry, Hannibal will let him out when his time has come.
56) Time to Melt
This is a good way to pass. You just fall asleep and slowly melt away. They look so peaceful and content that it makes me want to take a nap out in the sun too. Hope I don’t melt!
57) The Walking Snowdead
This is what happens when it’s flu season and the snowmen aren’t vaccinated. They get infected. Look at Mr. Sidewalk there, he’s probably been sick for weeks.
58) Strike, My Face
Who doesn’t love bowling? These snowmen sure do! Even the one who had to be the bowling ball! Look at his body back there, waiting for his return. He will soon regret his decision.
59) Skills, I Tell You
Okay, so he did print out a face and built a hat with snow. This may not be the most advanced snowman that we’ve ever seen, but it does give you ideas, now doesn’t it?
60) Snow Angel or Man?
Who knew that snowmen could make snow angels? Guess we know now! This has to be the best display of pristine snow and perfect classic snowmen. The noses are carrots and the hats are exactly what you would want them to be.
61) Sock It To Him
This is all for the creative idea of using a pipe cleaner as a scarf and a sock as a hat. I guess that makes it a socking cap? Okay, okay, I’ll see myself out.
62) Is That A Seal?
This polar bear family is so cute! Even though one or two of those babies look like seals. Maybe they are adopted, which makes this tale that much sweeter.
63) Not Captain Morgan?
Yes, it’s shocking that this snow captain isn’t drinking Captain Morgan. But that’s okay, we wouldn’t want to diss a pirate, especially one with a scimitar!
64) Welcome to My Humble Abode
What better way to spend the winter with your dog than buulding a snowfort that looks just like him? He will surely love to cuddle up inside! Just look how proud this guy is!
65) Ooh Ee Ooh Ah Ah
Is it a dog? Is it a robot? Is it Princess Leia? No one knows except the creator. What we do know is that he is cute and ready for a tribal war. That grass skirt does not lie.
66) Hit and Run
His family looks super sad over there and we can’t help but feel bad for them. But at least it makes a good picture, right? Can you blame the driver? Those roads look icy!
67) We Are Family
This is a fun way to decorate a sandman without it falling over. Plus, you get to take cool pictures with her too! Now these people know how to throw a Christmas party!
68) She’s So Gucci
She wears Subciety and she’s a Greek Goddess, next thing you know, she’ll show us her amazing voice and Instagram following. This took a lot of talent, props to the creator.
69) Good Old-Fashioned Family Christmas
Most people tend to take pictures of their snowmen alone. If you’re really proud though, you’ll take a family photo with them because that’s how it should be done.
70) Totorlly Awesome
You either love Studio Ghibli or you’re wrong. This Tototro is so adorable and the tiny creatures look toasty and warm. This is how you win at building snowmen.
