Call That A Snowman? - Edward Scissorhands (1990)

With the rest of the family setting up the standard Christmas baubles, Eddie (Johnny Depp) shows off by carving a statue of an ice angel - the shavings cascading like falling snow. Then he accidentally nicks Kim's (Winona Ryder) hand and kicks off a scrap. Stoopid festive family tension.
"Rosebud..." - Citizen Kane (1941)

Charles Kane (Orson Welles) lies on his deathbed. He gazes into a kitschy snowglobe and rasps the most famous single word in movie history. It's as if he's somehow pining for his childhood innocence, with 'Rosebud' perhaps the name of a treasured old toy or something.
