The magic snow after creating a snowman.

Magic Snow is found throughout cities (and some PvE zones) during Wintersday. You can interact with the snow with the Build Magic Snowman action, which will summon a snowman, gives the character a snowball that can be dropped without being destroyed and spawn 5 additional ones around the snowman.

The magic snow can be interacted with again after a period of time and are reset on a per-character basis. Their locations are indicated by a snow making machine floating in the sky.

During Wintersday: The Wondrous Workshop of Toymaker Tixx, creating snowmen would progress the Cold-Weather Friend achievement. As of Wintersday 2013, creating snowmen counts towards the daily Making Some Wintersday Friends achievement.
