Snowman with Hot Cocoa SVG

About this design

Even snowmen need a warm drink. This one holds out a big mug of hot cocoa in one stick hand, with three marshmallows peeking over the rim and two curls of steam rising above. A stripe runs around the mug, and the handle is on the far side.

The snowman is dressed for a cold day in a knitted beanie with ribs around the cuff and a pom-pom on top, plus a scarf with a fringed end hanging down the front. It has coal eyes, a carrot nose and three coal buttons, and its other arm hangs down at its side.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 13 pieces and 14 cut-outs, including the face, the buttons, the beanie ribs, the mug stripe and the hole in the handle. The steam curls and the marshmallows are small separate pieces, so weed carefully around them and lift the whole design with one sheet of transfer tape. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

A cozy gift idea

Cut the snowman at 4 inches in permanent vinyl and apply it to a plain white mug. Fill the mug with cocoa mix and a few marshmallows, tie a candy cane to the handle and wrap it in cellophane. It is an inexpensive gift that suits teachers, mail carriers and anyone who works outside in the cold.
