During the winter time (December 11th to February 25th) two-three snowballs appear randomly everyday throughout the town. The player can use these to make a Snowman (ゆきだるま). The balls are usually in different locations, and the balls have to be the right size. The smaller snowball should be roughly 3/4 as big as the larger snowball. Use trial and error to gauge the right size for yourself. Please note that the snowballs do not need to be huge, just properly porportioned. A good strategy is to make the body the size of the player and the head about the size of up to the players nose.

Snowballs gain size when being pushed through the snow and decrease in size when going over dirt or pavement. Initially, snowballs will be hard to push but once they get to a certain size they become more controllable. If a snowball falls off a cliff ledge, rams into a hillside, gets hit by a shovel, falls into a hole, or dropped into the river , the ocean or pond, it will be lost. A new snowball will be randomly generated when you enter and leave a building for you to try again.

When the snowballs look to be the right size, push the smaller one on top of the larger one by pushing them together. The snowman will tell you if you did a perfect job, a good job, an average job, or a poor job. The snowman's personality is determent by how it is made, for example if you do a poor job it will often say bad things about their life like,"I just want to make one light shine before I melt away, oh woe is me."If you did a perfect job, you will receive a snowman themed item from the Snowman series in the mail after the snowman melts away. The snowman will remain a few days and will shrink each day until he disappears. The snowman also asks you to build him a snow-lady. If you do or not, it does not affect whether you get the furniture.

in Animal Crossing: City Folk, if a snowman is built anywhere on the pavement in front of the Town Gate, even out of the bus' path, the player will not be able to go to the city because the bus will not be able to stop.
