* A Christmas event in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' has players use Mei and hurl snowballs at opponents with her gun. There are patches of snow that can be gathered to make a snowball, or she can refill with her ultimate. Each hit eliminates the struck player for the round, and each round lasts until everyone on one side is eliminated.
* Just like in the Overwatch example above, ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' has a similar brawl for its Christmas event, appropriately titled ''Snow Brawl'', which takes placed in a modified Cursed Hollow map, where tributes spawn a lot faster and players can gather snowballs of varying sizes and lob them at opponents.
* The [[SlippySlideyIceWorld ice level]] in ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' features piles of snowballs which can be thrown at enemies. And killer snowmen that throw snowballs back at you.*

* A Creator/BlizzardEntertainment likes to use this for Christmas events.
** In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', you can purchase snowballs during Winter's Veil to either use as ingredients for other holiday items or just chuck at other players. In the past, they used to inflict a small amount of knockback, which of course led to players throwing people off of cliffs with them.

* In ''Creator/ElizabethMoon'''s ''Literature/TheDeedOfPaksenarrion'', Paks has a light-hearted snowball fight while preparing for a religious ceremony that means a great deal to her (being a paladin and all that). Since both sides were professional soldiers, and had plenty of time to prepare the ground and gather weapons (ie, make snowballs), the fight itself was epic.

* The first book of ''Literature/TheMysteriousBenedictSociety'' ends with the members of the titular society preparing to have one, with Sticky and Constance on one side and Reynie and Kate on the other. Kate has a plan which involves her directing Reynie to make carefully prepared snowballs and her throwing them because she's the physically gifted one, though Reynie asks her to let him throw some too as it's part of the fun and she reluctantly agrees. Also, Sticky asks if they're Reynie for "ignominious defeat," and Kate has to get the definition of "ignominious" from Reynie. Hearing that it means "shameful" just makes her more spurred on.
