The player rolling a snowball in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Snowballs are objects in the Animal Crossing series that appear in town during winter. Each day, two snowballs appear throughout the town. Two snowballs can be stacked on top of one another by simply pushing one into the other to create Snowfolk.

At first, snowballs can be kicked around as the player walks into them, like balls. As they roll on snowy grass, they will slowly increase in size and the player can begin to roll the snowball with their hands. The player has greater control of the snowball in this stage, as the snowball stays in front of the player as they roll forward. As the snowball is rolled over non-snowy ground, it will slowly decrease in size.

Snowballs can be destroyed or lost if they are rolled into objects, hit with a shovel or axe, rolled off cliffs, or rolled into a body of water or a hole. Snowballs that have been destroyed or lost can reappear if the player enters and exits a building.

Beginning in Animal Crossing: Wild World, dung beetles can roll snowballs.
