1. Pumpkin Snowman
With Halloween out of the way, snow is inevitable. Why not keep your full pumpkin around long enough to turn it into a snowman. If you only have one pumpkin, then use that as a snowman head. It will be the coolest looking head. You could even put off carving the pumpkin until it snows. A jack-o-lantern will make a great snowman head.
