When the first snow of the year hits, all of the kids in the neighborhood run outside to build a snowman. It’s a time-honored tradition that’s been going on for generations.
People have been crafting snowmen for thousands of years in the winter, ever since back in the Middle Ages. In 1494, famous sculptor Michelangelo was even commissioned by the ruler of Florence, Italy to craft a snowman in the ruler’s courtyard.
While no one was paid to make the snowmen on our list, the ones we’ve included here are works of art in their own right. From snowmen hitchhikers to whole villages of snowman showing up on the lawn, these are the silliest snow creations that we could find. If you like these joyful snowmen, make sure to share them with your friends and family as well!

3. Venus With Style
Here we have a recreation of the famous Greek statue Venus de Milo. It’s a beautiful depiction of the Greek God. Although, putting the hat on top does make it look a little bit sillier. At first, we thought it was actually a mannequin.
