Snowmen and Traditional Top Hats

Building a snowman is one of the most popular winter activities when heavy, wet snow falls. Placing a top hat onto a snow figure is a classic tradition that gives the character a distinguished appearance.

History of the Top Hat Tradition

Top hats were formal men's headwear during the nineteenth century, which is when building snowmen became a popular subject in art and greeting cards. People often dressed their snow creations in old formal clothes, including discarded black felt top hats.

  • Top hat: black or dark charcoal felt fabric

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Snowmen

What kind of snow is best for building a snowman?
Wet snow near the freezing point is ideal because water moisture acts like glue, helping snow crystals stick together. Fresh, dry powder snow cannot be packed into solid spheres easily.
Why do snowmen traditionally have carrot noses?
Carrots were cheap, readily available winter root vegetables stored in cellars by farming families. Their long, pointed shape naturally fits into snow as a decorative nose.
