Removes hat and peers into the distance. Will fall over and come apart shortly after being summoned outside of the Winter Veil holiday.
Snow sound (on summon)
Emote /wave while targeting and it will wave back. Emote /dance and it will dance with them. Emote /kiss and its hat will flip in surprise.
This is one of four BoU Winter Veil pets that drops at random from the [Gaily Wrapped Present]. You must be level 20+ to loot this item. This item appears under the Winter Veil tree in Ironforge (alliance) or Orgrimmar (horde) on and after December 25th through January 1st, but the [Snowman Kit] can often be found at auction year-round. Unlike other small pets, Tiny Snowman is immobile and will not follow you. However if you perform certain emotes with him, such as '/dance' and '/kiss', he'll respond with different animations.
As of patch 4.3, the Tiny Snowman no longer requires a snowball to summon. It will not remain summoned for a long period of time outside of the Winter Veil holiday, and will fall over and disassemble during the off-season.
During the Feast of Winter Veil, this companion will be significantly larger and will not topple over a few moments after being summoned.

He loves to dance and wave and play with you! He melts after Winter Veil, but don't worry; he'll be back again someday!
Commits Seppuku if you summon him out of season. Happy birthday, indeed.
I was surprised to see him out and about in my Lunarfall Garrison and decided to follow him, resulting in a fun surprise. He scooches along the main path and stops at the town hall, the little house near the druid cave, the Inn, and the tower beyond the mine. He tips his hat at each stop! This is the best screenshot I got as he does it rather quickly, and my bodyguard kept getting in the way.
What a fun discovery!
I had to summon him twice to battle-stone him. The second time I had my bag open and ready and hit him quick before he keeled over.
How the heck do you use a battle-stone on him?
In case anyone else may be wondering, as I was, this pet can battle outside of the Winterveil holiday (he falls over dead if you just summon him to hang out when it isn't Winterveil).
I wonder how tiny snowman will stand up to the fire storm of a fire bug... gotta level him quickly and find out...before he melts away.
For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
BUT your best bet is to loot presents on alts too! as the pets are not BoP!
so once a day, starting Dec. 25th (to Jan. 2nd), loot presents under the tree in Org(?), on as many alts as possible (think they have to be level 20+). :) Good luck!
Also, if you do buy them, try to do it when there's an abundance on the AH. Come July-August, these pets can fetch as much as 10k+, depending on your server.
