The subject of this section was part of the Winter Holiday Event (2010), an event that lasted from November 24, 2010 until January 31, 2011. Since the event has run its course, this may no longer be available.

Snowman (2010) is a limited edition constructible item in FarmVille. It was released on December 17, 2010 as part of the Winter Holiday Event (2010). Farmers will be happy to know that you can have more than one Snowman on your farm, but you can only build one Snowman at a time. When your first snowman has been completed through Level 1, then you can buy another snowman and work on building the new one while you also work on upgrading the first one.

The end date for getting a Snowman was fixed to be January 12, 2011. Then It was extended for 21 more days to make it end on February 02, 2011.

After the end date was fixed to be February 04, 2011, it was extended again for 20 more days, to make it end on February 24, 2011.

For players who deleted the Snowman from their farms in the period between February 02nd and February 04th, FarmVille announced that they would restore any deleted Snowmen for a player by contacting Zynga Customer Service.

Harvestable

“Once a day you’ll also be able to harvest the Snowman for Watering Cans—the higher the tier, the more Watering Cans you can get out of it.”

Additionally, every time you harvest a snowman, including several at one time, you can post a message to your wall to share a watering can with multiple friends.

Progress

This amazing Snowman has 4 different stages to reach its highest level of completion.

• Initial Snowman - 1 Pile of Snow

  

• Smiling Snowman – 10 Piles of Snow & 1 Snowman Scarf
• Dapper Snowman – 5 Piles of Snow & 3 Snowman Buttons
• Dancing Snowman – 2 Piles of Snow & 1 Magic Hat

Bug

Once you have completed the first state of your Snowman, there will be a loading error each time you add a material. Therefore, in order to complete stage two and three, players have to re-load the farm for each part they want to add to the snowman. (7 Piles of Snow, 3 Buttons and 1 Magical Hat in total). Additionally, you won't be able to publish any Wall Posts for friends to provide them with material while you get along.

Because of these loading errors caused by adding material, Zynga gave players a refund of 20 Farmcash, with the message shown below. The window showed up in players' farms on December 23, 2010:

Notably the bug still wasn't fixed until January 19, 2011.

Glitches

A glitch in the flash will sometimes display a miniature version of the snowman. Glitch spotted on January 31st, 2011 on a dancing snowman. Moving the snowman is possible. This glitch can be seen in the pictures below, and can only be rid off by reloading the game:
