FarmVille Releases Snowball Fights & Snowman!

Posted on December 17, 2010 8:05 pm by FarmVille Freak Eva16

It’s snowball fight time! What is a better way to celebrate the holidays than covering your neighbors with snow?

The FarmVille Snowman feature seems to be making a debut this evening, and is slowly being rolled out. Please note that not all farmers have access to it.

With all the snow you will collect from this Snowball Fight, it is time to start building a Snowman!

FarmVille Start Snowball Fight Notice

Simply visit your neighbors farms and start throwing your snowballs. The more snow you get, the more it will help you to build your own Snowman!

FarmVille Snowman Placement Mode Notice

To begin with, a Pile of Snow is automatically given to all farmers which you are required to place on your farm in order for you to start building your Snowman.

FarmVille Build Snowman Screen

Once this Pile of Snow is placed on your farm, you will be shown the following screen. You will need to collect 10 Piles of Snow thrown at you by your neighbors. Piles of Snow can also be collected by throwing snowballs at your neighbors. You will also need 1 Snowman Scarf to finish building your magical Snowman.

You can collect building parts by publishing feeds on Facebook and asking your neighbors. You can also purchase these building parts by spending Farm Cash.

  • Piles of Snow are 1 Farm Cash each
  • Special Snowman items are 2-3 Farm Cash
  • Magic Hat is 10 Farm Cash

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

FarmVille Snowman Stages

The following are the stages of the Snowman along with the parts required for its construction:

  • 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

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.

And finally, to save the best news for last – the Snowman is also harvest-able! What can it be harvested for, you ask? Watering cans! On the official FarmVille forums, Stumpgrinder says:

“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.”

Have you received your Snowman & Snowball Fight feature yet? How many Snowmen will you be building?

    i just did the placement, then asked for a scarf. i got it a few minutes later, only to get a “not found” error. scarf disappeared. seriously?!

  2. Binsin Says:

    It’s broken when you try to receive a gift, says gift not found :(

  3. Gadz Says:

    It’s hard to get scarf

  4. MyMusicAddiction Says:

    I have the snowball fight! It’s fine so far, but there are bound to be flaws…

  5. Denise Says:

    Yup – broken – you can’t retaliate when someone throws a snawball back at you!!!!

  6. helen2002 Says:

    gift snowscarf is gone cnt collect snowball…

  7. Vicky Says:

    Got my “pile of snow” so I can start my snowman. Having multiple snowball fights right now so I’m too busy to stay here long………….got snowballs to make. Have fun!!!!!

  8. Autumn Says:

    Tells me My buildings don’t need anymore materials when I try to use the snow piles.

  9. Rogue Robot Says:

    Well, at least it’s not nails, bricks and boards.

  10. Jam Says:

    Fun with snow…. :-) It’s even snowing outside here… brrrrr…. :-)

  11. h Says:

    COOLER THAN PAYING FV CASH FOR A SNOWMAN IMMA HAVE OUT FOR A MONTH! :)

  12. Rogue Robot Says:

    So how do you get a scarf other than asking non-playing neighbors?

  13. Informed Misery Says:

    When someone completes the scard part of the building process, they get to share scarves with neighbors. That’s how I got mine, and I shared with others after I used it.

  14. Informed Misery Says:

    *scarf part. Sorry.

  15. Lexington Says:

    I’ve thrown at least 20 snowballs at neighbors but I never get any snow for my snowman….also had a lot thrown at me, and still…no snow.

  16. Laura Says:

    Visited tons of friends’ farms and don’t have any snow piles… do you have to post on their walls and have them retaliate in order to get any snow piles back? Or can you just throw a snowball to get a snow pile?

  17. linda Says:

    having same probs thrown lots of snowballs an not getting a pile of snow can only ask who they say you can request snow from getting no where fast an having farmville cash dissapear an not getting it refunded by zynga just being sent a load of crap back an not my cash ive bought an paid for what a take on

  18. Dark5 Says:

    FAIL FAIL FAIL!!!

    why do we have to ask for items from INACTIVE players and PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT EVEN PLAYING AT ALL?

    seriously Zynga?

  19. richard Says:

    sending snowballs but not getting any piles of snow back.. another fail for zynga.. why bother releasing something until it works for everyone i say
    other people are collecting snow it seems.. finding this whole game is becoming tiresome with all its issues

  20. Kuah Kacang Says:

    its so hard to me to complete this snowman..because the selected neighbours goes to someone that not playing fv anymore..

  21. Brad Says:

    dumb

  22. CK Says:

    Got my neighbor who never plays to gift me the hat and it was lost!!! No way will I pay 10fvc for that!

  23. Dragonfyre Says:

    Two things:
    1. No one is shown when I go to ask someone for a scarf…before it showed two people who have never played Farmville…so I sense some issues with this.
    2. You can only get piles of snow when people throw snowballs at YOU. Doesn’t matter how many snowballs YOU throw, you will only get them from your neighbours.

  24. josuerkrr' Says:

    is anyone else seeing goji berry in the market?

  25. amit Says:

    someone pls tell me how to get the BUTTONS for the snowman in second stage……:(

  26. Dragonfyre Says:

    @Josuerkrr’
    I have it.

  27. JustJennifer Says:

    @Josuerkrr

    I am glad I am not the only one seeing that in the market! It says locked and when you hover over it “license needed”. But there is no other info.
    Apparently back in May they did a promo with 7-11. You bought certain items and got a code to grow the berries. If they are bringing it back, I hope they use a different store. No 7-11s around here. :-(

    JustJennifer

  28. B Says:

    It’s taking almost an hour to fertilize and snowball all my neighbors….!!!

  29. John Says:

    I’m supposed to get 3 buttons from 2 farmers who haven’t played the game in 3 days………thanks Zynga :-(

  30. Mary T. Says:

    I placed my snowman liked prompted but when I went back after throwing snowballs at many neighbors, it was gone? What the heck? Now what am I supposed to do? Hope they fix this soon. Always glitches when a new item is released.

  31. J Hope Says:

    Well, I was lucky enough to have 3 neighbors who still play show up for the button request. HOWEVER, when I receive the gift, I was rerouted to FarmVille with “GIFT NOT FOUND” address………………………………………..

  32. B Says:

    Oh wonderful, I’m supposed to ask someone who I’m not even neighbors with, who doesn’t accept neighbor request because she doesn’t play or want to.

  33. josuerkrr' Says:

    @JustJeniffer

    I can’t plant it neither, but under the “Locked” button I think there is the “Donate” option,, we have 7-11′s in Mexico but we have no gamecards and no promos :(

  34. L-dizzle Says:

    Too bad i cant get any fckn buttons >:|

  35. Leo Says:

    Fail…not working at all.
    I was involved in a bunch of snowball fights and my snow pile hasn’t gone up.
    ALSO Zygna is hoping we use FV$ cash to buy stupid scarf, buttons and hat.

  36. steph Says:

    i got thrown a few snowballs from people but i didnt get to collect them. anyone else having this problem?

  37. Steph Says:

    my snowman isnt working at all, i can ask for snowpiles and scarfs and it allows me to ask active players but i cant accept them! im not willing tp spend my fv cash only because it could be glitchng that too. most of my neighbors have theirs done =[ mine isnt wokring so sad its so cute!!

  38. vanilla Says:

    This is kind of fun :) The only thing that bugs me … when I visit a neighbour’s farm my avatar takes the place of that farms avatar, so when I throw the snowball, it hits me instead of my neighbour :(

  39. bs Says:

    This is pretty fun! And it’s kind of refreshing that it kind of slows down in demands of materials for a change. :) though getting these buttons might be a pain, since it only wants me to ask my neighbor who have retired.

  40. Nick Says:

    i’m not able to get the scarf and it snowballing and getting snowballed doesn’t even add any snowballs to my snowman. …whatever happens i’m NOT paying FV for this. if that’s what zynga is expecting then BALLS to zynga :P

  41. Paisley Says:

    when I ask for anything for the snowman it freezes my farm =\

  42. elizabeth Says:

    cant get buttons from people who dont play anymore zynga needs to reyhink things over

  43. Mon-chan Says:

    I don’t want snowmans on my farm all year… but I need that water!!

  44. vickie Says:

    snowballs are easy, just jump into other snowball fights you see posted. buttons however are another story. i can’t get any new names to come up and my 3 are long gone.

  45. Ichigo Says:

    So after the January 13, 2011 we won’t get any more water cans from the snowman, right?

  46. Bobsun Says:

    same stupid problem with the inactive players ;xxx

  47. Moo Moo Moo Says:

    Until it is determined how much water the snowman will put out at each level each day, it’s not worth the trouble for three or four weeks of water. I’d rather beg my active neighbors for water.

  48. Sandy Says:

    Is it harvestable for watercans even after the snowball feature ends, that is, after January 13

  49. Johnnyafc Says:

    WHY THE HELL WOULD U GET WATERING CANS FROM A SNOW MAN, IDIOTS – and cant recive buttons either , another way of zygna mking money making people buy the buttons and hats cause it sends req’s out to people who no longer play it

  50. Linda Says:

    Cool!!! I would love to build a snowman and will able to harvest the watering cans!! Wooo!!

  51. Victoria Voinikova Says:

    Snowman gives Watering Cans – WTF?!

  52. Cynthia Says:

    Two friends sent me the green buttons. Both times I tried to accept it errored out. The third friend doesn’t play farmville anymore. I’m stuck.

  53. Kathy Says:

    Got the buttons -not sure how I will get a hat, the one person has her privacy settings set for no posts to her wall and the other is in the hospital -dumb -how many snowmen will I be building? I may never finish the first one!!

  54. Lynn Says:

    Well, the watering cans are GREATLY NEEDED as 10 cans per seedling is really excessive.

    HOWEVER- Looks like many are going to be stuck unless they want to pay farmcash.

    When ya get to the buttons, you can ask for some- but it only lets you do it from a few specific people. – two of mine no longer play FV.

    && When you get to the top hat, it’s either 10 FC or you can post a help link from someone who doesn’t play FV all together- no way I’m getting a can from her.

    Way to go, Zynga. You turned a good idea, IMO, into a really crappy one by making the ultimate completion really hard & probably impossible for most.

  55. diane Says:

    I got the snaowman ..got the scarf… I sent out my request for my 3 buttons. Is there another way to get the buttons with out buying them with farmville cash.

  56. B Says:

    Up till now, I haven’t disliked anything about FV. This is ridiculous tho. I want to ask the people who play as much as me to help build the snowman, not continue to bother people who don’t play FV at all or very little. If there wasn’t a pony reward involved I wouldn’t continue this at all.

  57. karl sonalan Says:

    i’m involved in a lot of snowball fights but my snowball pile isn’t going up but when i bought one from the market it went up this is a ripfff!! you have to buy a snowball pile from the market for it to go up zynga better fixed this soon or they will receive a lot of complaints from me…

  58. karl sonalan Says:

    and my orchard is f***k up i tried to get a tree out of it but iwhen i do i could see the tree is still there and when i replace it with another tree it says there are only 3 out of twenty trees in the orchard which is impossible because my orchard is full!! anyone else having this problem??

  59. Paolo Modera Says:

    Here is a link to ask anyone for snowman buttons. It is from the Zynga website and works.

    http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.farmville.com%252Faskmats.php%253Ffeature%253Dhorsestable%2526item%253Dsnowmanbutton%2526view%253Dfv&h=b2e41&ref=nf

  60. karl sonalan Says:

    and a out of sync page pops up everytime i take a tree out

  61. Ricardo Says:

    Ask for another Snowman Button from which friends?

    http://www.farmville.com/askmats.php?feature=horsestable&item=snowmanbutton&view=fv

  62. maggie Says:

    at very least, they could rotate the 3 names every 6 hours or so – that way if you get a no-longer-playing name, you have a “snowballs chance in he…” of getting your buttons/hat

  63. malo Says:

    2 out of 3 neighbours don’t play anymore , so farmcash it is :(

  64. Justin Says:

    twice had buttons sent to me…after accepting them..item not found in giftbox!! guess they think i will get frustrated and buy them :(

  65. Kyra Says:

    Looks like I won’t be finishing it. I can’t get a scarf. I can’t even ask for it without getting a “unknown error”. Even why I attempt, it always shows someone who’s inactive and wouldn’t send it anyway.

  66. Ryan Says:

    your snowballs are stored in your giftbox, you need to use them in order to build your snowman

  67. Melissa Says:

    I’ve asked my side accounts to send me the materials, and now, I’ve got 2 dancing snowmans… Should I build more? And will it still yield watering cans after the snowball fights feature has been disabled?

    Btw, I used the 4 links from the following website to ask for the materials, like #61 has mentioned before:
    http://www.farmvillepro.net/farmville-snowman-gift-links.html

    I use my side accounts because none of my friends play anymore. And I used the above website because it’s more discreet (you don’t have to go posting on your side accounts’ profile pages in order to get the materials).

  68. Cindy Says:

    Why can’t we ask the people WE want to ask for ie Buttons. The (3) people you choice don’t play the game often enough and now it’s grey out and i can’t ask anyone that I know will send them. So I guess I can’t complete the snowman – not fair, I need to choice MY friends/neighbors don’t want you to choice them for me.

  69. J Hope Says:

    Just harvested level 3 snowman. I got 3 watering cans and a pop-up to share it with others. Not as many as I hoped for, but still better than nothing….

  70. Linda Says:

    Ok i’ve clicked on the button to send friends their button gift and they are not getting them and my friends are clicking on mine and i’m not getting them, so how in the world are we suppose to finish this thing if we can’t get what we need. I’ve even gone back on my page and clicked it again and it says sorry you already gave that gift. They need to fix this.

  71. Eva Says:

    here u can ask for scarf, buttons, hat and even snowballs. hope it helps:) http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=178957818799448&id=111581268913152

  72. dandylion Says:

    paolo the link does not work

  73. John Evans Says:

    Since I see ASK links for the other two, might as well post the Magic Hat link.

    http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.farmville.com%2Faskmats.php%3Ffeature%3Dhorsestable%26item%3Dsnowmanmagichat%26view%3Dfv%25EF%25BB%25BF&h=ff780

  74. Miriam Says:

    I agree,why do we have to request from people that don’t play, and why does it have to post to their wall? I have lost 5 hats. I accept and can’t find it in my gift box. Also lost several snow globes and a gingerbread arch. Haven’t been successful in contacting Zynga. Whenever I send an email…it gives me “unable to process at this time” message and they still haven’t answered my email from days ago. I’m never going to be able to finish . We can only harvest once a day for 1 watering can? and we need 10 for each seedling????????

  75. Anita Says:

    How do I get green button’s?? the people i ask don’t play farmville?

  76. Carlz Says:

    GIFT NOT FOUND GIFT NOT FOUND am so close to sacking fv off now there are so many issues, Im lucky that I have lovey friends who sent scarf and buttons but cannot get the snow its driving me mental now :(

  77. Ania021 Says:

    QUESTION:

    When I build my snowman and then for the scarf, at the first stage, when I go to ask my friends, well they send me the scarf but whenever I go to accept it it won’t show up in my gift box, and now I just tried my other friend and before I could even post on his wall, it says cannot post to this user’s wall.. WTF? So now I’m out of help for my scarf..
    so that’s it, I won’t be able to ask again..for some weird reason I’m only able to ask these 2 friends..
    This is so retarded it’s farmville’s fault I wasn’t able to get my scarf, it never showed up in my gift box after I accepted it.
    Anyone else having problems like this.? :/
    is there anything I can do.?

  78. keikalan Says:

    @Linda
    Same thing is happening to me too !!!! I can’t receive items for a snowman from my neighbors !!! I’m hating this game now !!

  79. Kirsten Says:

    Dear players,

    Use these links to get the scarfs, buttons and magic hats:
    http://www.farmville.com/askmats.php?feature=horsestable&item=snowmanbutton&view=fv

    http://www.farmville.com/askmats.php?feature=horsestable&item=snowmanmagichat&view=fv

    http://www.farmville.com/askmats.php?feature=horsestable&item=snowmanscarf&view=fv

    It’s not difficult to get piles of snow. I already have 2 snowmen =)

    I hope this will help you all ;)

  80. ed moody Says:

    well thats it for me,I QUIT!..after then send me a list of two people to request the buttons for the snow man..these two people havent played in months..so i break down and spend the 6 FV cash for the buttons..i figured i had to have 3 and they only sent me a list of 2 people to ask..

    for the hat they sent me 1 person to ask and she hasnt played this game since back in march..so i opted to buy the hat untill i saw it was 10 FV dollars then i would have to also purchase the next tier of stuff as well! im finished with farmville..im finished with facebook,sharing my information with out my consent,Forcing me to spend cash on so called free items..

    refusing to ban people for sending hack programs to me in my mail..there are at least 9 in there right now.all have been reported and yet i get at least 2 a week since i bought poker chips from zynga..thx for the great website and ill see all you freaks in another world

  81. Loony Says:

    Another epic fail for zynga. None of my Friends receive my Snow And i don’t receive theirs. Can this Company finally Release Anything that Works right from the Start? I don’t Think so, Tim.

  82. Johnnies2000 Says:

    You know what kills me? This is supposed to be the #1 unofficial “fan” site for Farmville. Except, all I see are rants and complaints about how nothing works right for them and how Zynga can’t seem to do anything right. So where are the fans?

    I get it. You’re upset that it’s not working right. Well, from my experience, most of the problem falls back to something with the users computer. I had issues of missing gifts and disapearing items, but those problems ended when I switched to using my Laptop. Everytime I use the desktop, which uses the same OS and browser, gifts were not showing up in the gift box after it says I accepted it. Most of the time, people just need to clean out the cache and history to resolve many of the problems.

    Now, instead of complaining to a bunch of people who cannot do anything for you and are only more willing to agree with you and fuel your fire, try considering the company. They are working to put together a game that you can play without paying for it. Any payments made are voluntary. In the U.S., we have an economy that allows you to choose from any multitude of games and services. In a sense, you get what you pay for. So, if you want an error free gaming session, purchase something from Walmart or Target or any other retail outlet and play the game by yourself on your computer. If you choose to play a FREE game on a platform that is inheritently prone to errors, then expect some flaws.

    Thank you Zynga for providing me a game, a service and some fun.

  83. Ania021 Says:

    This is so retarded…I need 3 snowman buttons and I can only ask 2 friends? ..

  84. Jeffrey Says:

    I got my buttons but all of them glitched and didn’t give them to me… #FAIL

    Don’t they test ANYTHING before they put it out?

  85. Clare Says:

    Can any1 put up a link 4 the snowmans hat… The 1 Ricardo and Paolo put up 4 d scarfs worked….. Please I need a hat, as when my friends send me 1 through the usual way I do not receive it..Thanks….xx

  86. joann Says:

    I clicked on someone that sent me buttons, and then it went right to the farm where the button did not show up. Lost again. That is the second time this has happened. You are using people that do not play any longer.
    Where are my lost items going. Gift box is not full so can’t use that as the problem.

    When we click on an item, it should go directly in to the box. Snow ball fights are a waste of time. You get nothing for it. I have done it so many times.

  87. Allie Says:

    I can’t get buttons. This bites. It shows for my mom who plays and another friend to send me buttons. Then the last is a non active fv player. Both active players tried to send buttons but wouldn’t let them, it went straight to fv without sending me my buttons. I WILL NOT PAY fv cash for them. So how the heck else am I supposed to get em, if it won’t let my friends send them????

  88. Allie Says:

    does anyone have a link to ask for the hat from our ACTIVE FV PLAYERS? The link for the buttons DID WORK for me. Yeay!! Now I just need those hats…

  89. Christine Says:

    For the hats ……
    http://www.farmville.com/askmats.php?feature=horsestable&item=snowmanmagichat&view=fv

    Wish there was a way to help with the piles of snow!! :(

  90. mdc Says:

    I give up! I still can’t get my buttons to come through. I’m about to kill off Frosty…

  91. jedijson Says:

    Still not receiving snowballs, so can’t get through the first tier. I have notifications of getting hit with them all the time–count so far is 24. Yet my snowman says I’ve only gotten one. And I only have one person to ask–yet he hasn’t played since God was a child.

    Is this working for anyone?

  92. Brenda Says:

    I am not getting snow to use for my snowman after being hit by snowballs. Is anyone else having this problem?

  93. Jaime Says:

    I accepted to get the snowman, but it doesnt show up on my farm or in my gift box.
    Help please!! :(

  94. fosci Says:

    The game lags like hell when i visit neighbors to leave snow piles. i mean like 5-10 minutes for the dialogue box to show up. Thumbs down for Zynga, again..

  95. Erica Says:

    Yup… been stuck at three snow piles for at least a week, even though I’ve taken several snowballs in the face. I’ve also hit friends with several snowballs over and over. Just not working for me.

    I also thought we were going to be able to harvest presents from our friends’ Winter Workshop like the Halloween Haunted House. I think all my friends are trying to save up for the horse, so NO ONE is redeeming anything, so no gifts for me on Christmas.

    Its Christmas… the horse should have simply available without such a high cost.

  96. Roos Says:

    My piles of snow keep disappearing too….. disappointing!

  97. Dalisnat Says:

    The snowman feature needs to be fixed. Have many snow fights on the go, throwing and receiving and not receiving any snow to build my snow man, can only seem to ask the same three people for snow, once asked cannot ask again.

    Have used some of my Farmville Cash to build him up, which now seems like a waste if I can’t finish him.

  98. Flave Says:

    No one plays anything in the few names they give me for the snowman requests.
    So ridiculous.
    I got one person to send me the hat and of course it showed up as gift not found.
    Can’t keep asking them. THEY HATE FV.

  99. Reena Says:

    When I send the buttons to my friends, they say, did not receive. I also have not received. I think there are some problems in the transition of feeds. Or May be Fv is trying to force member s to buy them with Farm Cash.

  100. BLEH Says:

    Hopefully, Zyanga might be nice enough to put snowman items in the special deliveries. I finished my Japanese Barn that way.

  101. Maria Says:

    I don’t use the cheat engine, but Gamers Unite has a link for the different snowman items. The 3 people I’m supposed to ask for the buttons haven’t replied since the time this was introduced. I found the link and sent the request to more than the 3 that I need, and I already got one. I sent the request very recently. I’m hoping to have all three by tonight. I think that that’s the best method until Zynga changes that frustrating request to at least rotate neighbors daily.

  102. breezygirl Says:

    Does anyone know…

    will the snowmen continue to harvest for watering cans past the now 10-day deadline?

    Just wondering if i should build a few more before they become unavailable. I now have over 200 seedlings and those are just from my own orchards; I never take them from the news feed. I hate the idea of having to gift or beg for all of those watering cans.

  103. cheryl cousineau Says:

    I can’t get the button button to work. What’s happening????

  104. Elsie Says:

    I need a snowball tree to complete a quest but I don’t have the tree and it’s not available in the market.
