While snowman-making is one of the most fun activities of winter, it can also happen if an unfortunate person gets caught up in the process of making the snowman, whether it be getting covered in snow via a snowball fight, a freak snowstorm, or outright just being the base for the snowman. This will often be Played for Laughs if the first character intentionally gets the other character stuck in the snowman as a cruel joke.
While most cases involve the classic snowball-based snowman, it’s also possible for one to be stuck inside a specially-shaped snow sculpture. And in some cases, multiple characters could make up the snowman too.
In some cases, this can easily be caused by a Human Snowball situation, with all the snow gathered on a character making it easy to shape, or have multiple snowball trapped characters stacked onto one another.

The X-Men's Iceman originally manifested his ice powers on his body in a snowy way (rather than an icy way), making him look like an live snowman. He also threw snowballs at his enemies. In the very first issue of X-Men, he even made up a face with coal and a carrot as a joke.

Lamput: At the end of "Snow", Fat Doc and Slim Doc are each on the top of a snowy hill, with their hills right next to each other. The two decide to roll to the bottom of the hills as snowballs to catch up with Lamput, but when they collide they end up forming a snowman instead. Lamput comes back and places a carrot nose on the snowman's head.

Looney Tunes:
One Pepé Le Pew cartoon has Pepe fall in the show and emerge as a snowskunk, saying that he was the Abominable Snowman.
"Odor of the Day" stars a skunk similar to Pepe, who makes his entrance covered in snow.
Played with in "Snow Time for Comedy", when a dog falls down a hill and becomes a Human Snowball, which then takes the form of a giant dog.
At the beginning of the cartoon "Weasel While You Work", Foghorn Leghorn rolls the sleeping Barnyard Dawg up into a snowman.

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, the intro cutscene for level 5, Iceberg, has Gooey accidentally trapped in one of the snowballs that Kirby and friends are using to build a snowman. Gooey's eyes and tongue poke through the snow and startle the rest of the group.
In Kirby 64, when you combine the bomb and ice powers, Kirby takes a bomb on his head and covers himself and the bomb up with a snowman.

Classic Disney Shorts:
Happens to Donald Duck and his nephews in "Donald's Snow Fight". The nephews get covered in snow until they look like bowling pins, which Donald knocks down with a snow bowling ball. Donald gets not only snow but icicles dropped on him, making him look like a rhinoceros in a cage.
In "Pluto's Christmas Tree", Pluto runs through a snowbank, and the snow he displaces is in the exact shape of himself, but with a longer body.

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh:
The episode "The Wishing Bear" had Pooh getting covered with a bunch of snow, which leads to him posing as a snowman that Piglet was trying to build.
Another episode has Piglet running away and getting covered in snow. He crawls out from underneath, leaving a Piglet-shaped snowman that the others mistake for the actual Piglet and take inside. They become concerned when the snow Piglet melts into a puddle.

Calvin and Hobbes:
One strip takes this trope to another level. It starts with Suzy building a snowman, then Calvin and Hobbes come incoming towards her on their sled and end up catching the snowman on the sled. In the snowman's place is Suzy with Calvin on her shoulders and Hobbes on his head.
Another time, Calvin accidentally made evil "snow goons", and later destroyed them by going out at night and spraying them with the hose. When his dad comes out to bring him back inside, he slips on one of the patches of ice...

Dora the Explorer: Done with Swiper 3 times.
In "Rapido, Tico!" Dora, Boots, and Tico must successfully stop Swiper from swiping Boots's fire truck hat's on snowy mountain. After they succeed, Swiper rolls down in a Human Snowball and turns into this.
In the very next episode, "A Present For Santa," Dora and Boots attempt to give Santa a present. On the way, Swiper (disguised as this) follows Dora and Boots, being careful to stop when Dora and Boots stop. Suspicious, they approach him, giving Swiper the chance to steal the present. He eventually gives it back after being told it was for Santa.
In "Star Mountain," Dora and Boots attempt to reclaim the necklace that Swiper threw on top of Star Mountain. Before they can, Swiper (as this) comes on a snowboard to try to steal their rope. (strangley enough, his tail is also covered with snow.

Played with in the Hogan's Heroes episode, "Everybody Loves a Snowman", in which Hogan and his men have to figure a way to smuggle out a downed flight crew while the Gestapo is in camp searching for them. They're temporarily relocated to a barrack that has no access to their tunnels, so the gang build a hollow snowman to hide the entrance of the new tunnel they're digging, though later, Schultz ends up catching a glimpse of one of the flyers slipping into the tunnel through the snowman.

In the episode "Prehibernation Week", two kids were making a sandman (because there's no snow underwater) and sing to it to see if it would come to life like Frosty. Just then SpongeBob snowboards through and crashes into the sandman. As the kids watch the sandman slide downhill, they wonder if they sang the song wrong.
In another episode called "Snowball Effect", Squidward tried to hit Spongebob and Patrick with a snowball but missed. The boys declared it as war and pelted Squidward with a flurry of snowballs, covering in snow in a style of a snowman, followed by a hat.

Monster Hunter 3 (Tri): From this game onward, the Monster Hunter games feature a status condition known as 'Snowman' caused by strong icy attacks that encases the player in a large snowball. They can still move around and dodge but cannot use their weapons or items until it wears off or is treated with a special cleansing item. If it hits their non-human companions (or the player when playing as a Prowler) it will turn them into a tiny snow animal instead.
