During the festive season each year, snowmen return to Forza Horizon 5, and there’s always some kind of challenge in the Festival Playlist requiring you to smash them for a reward. As such, knowing the Forza Horizon 5 snowman locations is very important.
While they aren’t in the game permanently, it’s always great to see our frosty friends return whenever a Christmas-themed Series arrives. Here we’ll show you where they’ve appeared in previous years, and we’ll be sure to update this with any new locations should Forza Horizon 5 bring back snowmen in the future.
Forza Horizon 5 Snowman locations
Forza Horizon 5’s snowmen can be found throughout the map, but the spot with the most snowmen is usually at La Gran Caldera, in the north-centre of the map.
Yes, ironically, the very top of Forza Horizon 5’s volcano is where you’ll find a healthy number of snowmen. While they can also appear in decent numbers around built-up areas like Playa Azul, La Gran Caldera is our favorite spot.
Note that there may not be enough for you to complete a snowman-smashing challenge in one sitting. So, once you’ve smashed all the ones you can spot, back out of the game, shut it down, and then load Forza Horizon 5 back up. You can then fast travel back to La Gran Caldera, knock over the same snowmen and rinse and repeat until you have destroyed the correct amount.
It is worth noting that during 2023’s holiday season, Forza Horizon 5 transformed the El Stadia Horizon stadium into a winter wonderland for Series 28, and this was another excellent location for finding snowmen.
That covers the Forza Horizon 5 snowmen locations. Hopefully all that smashing won’t put you on the naughty list.
