How to make a snowman in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Do you wanna build a snowman?

As part of the Gift of Giving festive event in Disney Dreamlight Valley, a new event activity has appeared for players to complete. It all begins with a chest and a memory – here’s how to complete it.

Channel your inner Anna with this event and work towards building a snowman with materials found around the Valley. To begin the Gift of Giving Snowman event, head to the Plaza and locate the new red chest that will have spawned there. Opening this chest will spawn a memory, providing the cryptic instructions for snowman building. 

Rather than doing your research on Roman Numerals, which are confusing at the best of times, here’s a step by step guide to help you build your own festive addition.

Once you’ve gathered up all of your materials, head to Frosted Heights and locate the larger-than-usual snowball. It can be anywhere in the biome, but it’s noticeably larger than any of the regular snowballs you’ve previously seen. 

Once you’ve found it, interact with it and insert the materials in the following stages:

  • Stage 1:
    • 50 Snowballs
  • Stage 2:
    • 18 Dandelions
    • 4 Hardwood
    • 23 Fabric
  • Stage 3:
    • 1 Carrot
    • 10 Green Passion Lilies
    • 15 Fabric

Having done this, you’ll have your very own Mad Hatter Snowman to decorate the valley with, but maybe keep him in Frosted Heights to help him feel at home.
