A snow globe is a decorative object with a glass sphere enclosing a winter scene. Synonyms for a snow globe include snow dome, snowstorm paperweight, snowball, snowglobe, or water globe. These items are often used as holiday decorations, gifts, or collectibles. Snow globes can capture a range of winter-themed scenes, such as a cityscape, a mountain range, or a traditional red-and-green holiday scene. While snow globes are most commonly associated with Christmas, they can also be used for other winter holidays, seasonal decor, and general year-round decor. Whether used for nostalgia, decoration, or sensory stimulation, snow globes remain a popular item.
