What do you call a snowman party?

A snowball!

Why This Joke Works

"Snowball" is a formal dance event (a real term for a certain type of gathering) — but it's also the most literal thing you'd expect at a snowman party: snowballs. The joke answers the question twice: a snowman gathering would logically feature snowballs, AND a fancy party is actually called a snowball. Formal AND fun.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Deliver "A snowball!" with the grandeur of announcing a royal event — these snowmen have standards and they keep them.

Perfect for:

  • While playing in the snow during the holidays and things escalate into an actual snowball fight
  • At a formal-ish holiday gathering or charity gala when you need to break the ice
  • When planning a winter holiday party and debating what to call it on the invitation
