Plastic domes that are broken or leaky are almost impossible to repair. The best option may be to break the design apart, and have the interior installed in a new dome or globe.
Glass snow globes can be repaired by breaking the glass ball, removing the liquid and replacing the ball.
If the snow globe is sentimental or has value to you, you can have it repaired by several companies. Expect to spend MORE than the snow globe was originally priced, as the handwork involved is considerable.

How can you mend a broken glass Christmas ornament?
It depends what is broken, but if you mean the glass globe is broken, here are some options: You can check with the larger hobby stores in your area to see if they carry replacement globes the same size, or purchase an empty globe online. The opening is a critical measurement to be sure you get the same size glass. Carefully remove all broken glass using needlenose pliers or similar tool. You may wish to save the broken glass, put in a pieces of tightly woven cloth or pantihose, and rinse to save some of the snow bits or confetti if you wish to reuse. Rinse the interior of the snow globe to be sure no shards of glass are hiding, that will become visible later when you shake the globe. Holding upside down, or placing in a secure bowl or dish, fill the empty globe with liquid. (There are many types of snow globe liquid, too many to list here.) Add any confetti, sparkles or snow bits you want to replace. Put a bead of superglue along the edge of the snow globe base (not the glass) where you have cleaned out broken glass and glue. Then put a line of caulking (like for bathrooms), ideally clear, inside the base. Press the base into place on the liquid-filled globe, and let set. There are also 3 professional companies in U.S. who repair snow globes, but be prepared to pay more than the globe cost for difficult repairs, due to the handwork.
