Snow globes can freeze if the liquid inside them, typically a mixture of water and glycerin or antifreeze, reaches temperatures below freezing. When the liquid freezes, it expands, which can potentially crack the glass globe if there is not enough room for expansion. To prevent this, it is recommended to keep snow globes in a temperature-controlled environment above freezing temperatures.

What are the differences between snow globes and water globes, and how do they work?
Snow globes and water globes are similar in that they both contain liquid and objects inside a sealed glass dome. The main difference is that snow globes have white particles that resemble snowflakes, while water globes do not. Snow globes work by shaking them to create a snowfall effect, as the particles float in the liquid. Water globes work by swirling the liquid inside to create a calming or mesmerizing effect, without any snow-like particles.

Original answer: The liquid in snow globes is water and anti-freeze. They were once filled with just water but if in cold surrounding would freeze and bust. Although it helped with that problem but the antifreeze is poisonous so keep away from children and animals if its cracked. Improved answer: Snow globes which are made overseas may use a combination of antifreeze and water to prevent freezing.
