Only during the Event: 
Winter's Feast
“Not throwing this chance away...”
“Who needs a snowball to the face?”
“Wolfgang is snowball fight champion.”
“I remember fun.”
“THIS WILL HURT”
“Those young ones better mind their manners.”
“The kids always used to aim for my head.”
“Hmm. Where's Wilson?”
“I dö löve a snöw skirmish.”
“Snowball fight!”
“Oh fun!”
“Snowthrow!”
“This could be fun.”
“No greater delight than a snowball fight!”
“Oh, Webby boy...”
–Wurt
“Hehe.”
“There's always time for a snowball fight.”
The Snowball is an item that spawns randomly in winter during snowfall on the surface. It can be equipped in the hands and thrown, hitting in an AОЕ. The Snowballs do not cause damage, but they freeze the target equivalent to 0.2 hits from an Ice Staff. They can also be thrown into a Fire or burning object to extinguish it. Similar to Ice, the Snowballs can be used to fill the Watering Can and Waterfowl Can. One Snowball refills 0.3 use.
When the Snowball is on the ground, the player can start to roll it. After a few seconds of rolling, it will become a Large Snowball if there is snow on the ground. If rolled on Docks, Vine Bridge or Ice Floe, the Snowball will not turn into Large Snowball. The player can stack it on a Snowball or Large Snowball to create a Snowman.
When the temperature is above 0, it melts after 2 days. If it melts in the player's inventory, it will increase player's wetness by 1 point. If it melts on a Farm Soil Turf, it will increase its moisture by 10 points. It melt fasster when it is clouse to Fire. Doesn't melt in the Ice Box.
Large Snowball
“Someone knew their roll!”
“Great. Now what?”
“What a cute snowball.”
“It has potential.”
“SPARE PARTS”
“It needs much more to call it a snowman.”
“Yup. That's a big ol' snowball.”
“Nice snowball.”
“Nöt quite.”
“It's so... round!”
“It needs... something.”
“Snow friend head?”
“It's a start.”
“Of all the snowballs...”
“Snowfolk missing part.”
–Wurt
“I've seen you a round! Hehe.”
“Must admit I have a few ideas for this one.”
“Roll'em! Stack'em! Decorate them with a variety of items!”
-
The Large Snowball is heavy item that can be rolled or equipped in the body slot. There are two sizes of the Large Snowball: Medium and Large. If player rolls the medium version of Large Snowball when there is snow on the ground, it will become the large version. The player can stack it on a Snowball or another Large Snowball, after that it will become a Snowman and cannot be moved again. If player hammers it, it will drop Snowballs.
When the global temperature is above 5, the Large Snowball will melt. Players can use Embalming Spritz to stop it from melting, but after that, it can't be rolled, decorated, picked up or stacked on other Snowballs.
Snowman
“It's snow laughing matter!”
“Whatever.”
“Pretty!”
“The cold keeps it.”
“NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING COLD INSIDE”
“Interesting.”
“I've seen my share of snowmen.”
“It's fine.”
“A fine tribute tö the Jötnar.”
“We love it!”
“A work of art!”
“Snow friend cold?”
“Not exactly a marvel of engineering.”
“Whoa, man. Snowman!”
“Hey, Snowfolk.”
–Wurt
“Ice to meet ya!”
“Child's play. Not bad, though.”
The Snowman is built from stacking Snowballs or Large Snowballs. The player can stack 6 Snowballs at max. Large Snowball (medium) counts as 2 Snowballs and Large Snowball (Large) counts as 3 Snowballs.
When the Global Temperature is above 5, Snowman will melt and will break down. Players can use Embalming Spritz to stop it from melting, but after that, it can't be decorated or stacked on other Snowballs. If the Snowman is in range of the activated Ice Crystaleyezer, it will never melt.
Decorating
The Snowmen and Large Snowballs can be decorated with the items listed below. The maximum are 30 items. The food that is used as decor does not spoil. Also, players can give it head slot items, except the Void Cowl and Brightshade Helm. Perishable hats on Snowmen still spoil after the Snowmen is waxed by Embalming Spritz.
If they start to break down because of melting or hammering, first the equipped hat drops, then decorative items drop, and then the Snowman breaks up into snowballs and large snowballs from which it was made and a large snowball breaks up into smaller snowballs.
