GTA Online Snowmen Locations

The 25 GTA Online Snowmen have returned to Los Santos with the arrival of snow, which means you can earn yourself plenty of GTA$ and the Snowman outfit for your wardrobe by destroying them all. They're slightly different to the GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns that appeared over Halloween.
