'''Snowballs''' appear in every {{SER}} game to date; they will only appear during the [[winter]], and can be used to create a [[snowman|snowmen]]. When a [[player]] finds a snowball, they must approach it and roll it around in the snow to make the it grow. In {{PG}} the player must control a snowball much like a ball, kicking it around. However, in {{WW}}, the player is able to hold the snowball and roll it around, which gives him or her more control over where the snowball goes. If the snowball ends up in the [[river]] or [[sea]], it will melt in the water. If a snowball is hit with an [[axe]] or a [[shovel]], it will break. It will also break if it lands in a hole or falls down a hill. Once two snowballs are large enough, you will be able to push them into each other and create a Snowman. If the Snowman likes the proportions of the snowball body the player created for him, he will reward the player with a piece of [[furniture]] from the [[Snowman series]]. However, if you make the wrong proportions, the Snowman will act depressed and you will not recieve any reward.

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.
