4. Build an Olaf Snowman: If you are lucky enough to have snow outside, then bundle up and build an Olaf snowman in your yard. Make sure to give him a carrot nose! If you don’t have snow, then you can still build Olaf… just use marshmallows instead. I am sure he will think you are worth melting for if you want to stir your marshmallow friend into a cup of hot chocolate.
