GTA 5 Snowman Locations 2025: Find All 25 Snowmen

The addition of a fun “Scavenger Hunt” to the normal winter activities as part of the 2025 Holiday Update for GTA V (Online) will also be a part of the snow-covered landscapes of both the streets of Los Santos and the desert areas of Blaine County that are filled with 25 snowmen, which can be smashed for $5000 dollars and 1000 RP. Once you smash all 25 of them, you will get an exclusive Snowman Outfit. Although the event has become a tradition over the years, this time and this year’s version will have less time to find and smash the 25 snowmen compared to previous versions.

Event Details and Rewards

Rockstar’s official update notes describe the snowman collectible challenge as a limited-time event tied to GTA Online’s winter celebrations. The 2025 event runs during the week of Christmas. Each snowman destroyed yields a small cash and RP reward, and finding them all grants the Snowman Outfit. In previous years, snow and snowmen lingered for two weeks or more; however, the 2025 update removed them after about a week. This shorter window means players must act quickly.

Destroying a snowman is straightforward, you can drive or run into it or shoot it. A sleigh bell sound plays when you are within maybe roughly 75 meters, making all the snowmen easier to locate. Using a guide will save you time and frustration because there are no on-screen markers until you are close to them.

The Rockstar Games studios frequently add seasonal events, time-limited collectibles, and even rewards with a holiday theme to Grand Theft Auto Online.

Preparing for the Snowman Hunt

To cover a large map quickly, use a fast vehicle. The Oppressor MK II hoverbike or Sparrow helicopter is ideal. Both allow rapid traversal and quick takeoffs after destroying a snowman. If you don’t own either, any fast car or motorcycle will suffice, just be prepared for more travel time. Bring plenty of ammunition if you prefer shooting the snowmen from a distance. Finally, invite friends to help; you can split up and clear multiple locations simultaneously.

Snowman Locations in Los Santos

Los Santos contains the first 17 snowmen. Each is hidden in a different neighborhood or landmark. Here is a concise breakdown:

#	Location	Description and Tips
1	El Burro Heights	Found at the corner of an intersection in El Burro Heights. This snowman is easy to spot due to its street‑corner placement.
2	Mirror Park	Located near a large plant outside a house in Mirror Park. Listen for the sleigh bells; the snowman sits next to the plant.
3	Mirror Park Playground	Another Mirror Park snowman sits at the playground by a lamppost. Look near the swings.

6	Chamberlain Hills	Standing next to a bench in front of the skateboard park. Watch out for NPCs in the area.

8	Vespucci Canals (Skate Park)	Situated on top of a skating platform in the northern part of the canals. Use a bike or car to climb onto the platform.

17	Ron Alternates Wind Farm	Next to a red trailer in the wind farm. Look among the parked trailers and containers.

These Los Santos locations are relatively near each other. if you begin in the city, you may use your map and the sleigh bell sound to navigate to these locations and complete them in order.

GTA Online is updated regularly with new collectables, and activities and special events occur on an annual basis.

Snowman Locations in Blaine County

The remaining eight snowmen are scattered across Blaine County. They require longer travel distances, but they’re still easy to find with the right directions:

1. Grand Senora Desert (Hills) – In Blaine County’s desert, one snowman stands in front of a red‑exterior house on a hillside. Another sits next to a blue‑exterior house. Smash both while you’re in the area.
   
2. Sandy Shores – Located near the liquor store. Use the main street for a quick drive‑by hit.
   
3. Grapeseed – Inside a small house with a vehicle parked out front. The sleigh bell sound helps you pinpoint the correct building.
   
4. Mount Gordo – Standing right at the entrance to Mount Gordo. Look for a signposted pathway.
   
5. Mount Chiliad – Below the “Hamburgers” sign. This sign is near a small roadside diner, so the snowman is hard to miss.
   
6. Paleto Bay – In the backyard of a house. Check behind the houses lining the main street.
   
7. Chiliad Mountain South‑West – The final snowman sits on a slope in the southwest part of Mount Chiliad. Destroying this snowman completes the challenge and awards the Snowman Outfit.

Tips for Efficient Hunting

• Plan your route: Start in Los Santos and work through each neighborhood before heading to Blaine County. This minimizes travel time.
  
• Use waypoints: Set custom waypoints on your map to mark each location after you smash the snowman. This helps avoid confusion.
  
• Listen carefully: The sleigh bell sound triggers when you’re close. If you don’t hear it, you may be at the wrong house or corner.
  
• Travel with friends: Dividing the map reduces the time needed to complete the hunt. Each player can share location updates via chat.
  
• Beware of griefers: Some players might try to interrupt your search. Play in an invite‑only or friend session to avoid interference.

Staying Ahead in Los Santos

It’s great that you’re finding it fun to locate 25 snowmen; however, after you’ve finished playing all of the GTA Online content for your level, and if you have yet to rank up, you’ll find it monotonous to continue grinding through the same old activities to earn enough RP to get the next exclusive cosmetic item. Many players will opt to buy GTA 5 Modded Accounts, as they give the player instant access to high-end content, by purchasing a modded account from a reliable marketplace such as U7BUY. Once you purchase a modded account from a reliable marketplace like U7BUY, you immediately get to enjoy the high-level gaming experience of GTA Online, allowing you to enjoy this year’s seasonal events instead of continuing to grind through lower level gameplay.

The boosting service at U7BUY does all of the tedium for you, including leveling up, completing heists, and earning money, so you don’t have to. This method provides you with a simple way to remain current with new GTA Online update events and unlock content such as the Snowman set, while also remaining current with the rest of the GTA Online content.
