How to make a fair and fun event
Instead of making mettle of snowman event.
I would make that survivora can do snowmans in certain areas.if killers break it you get extra 5k bp.If killers break a snowman it gets 5k points.
The skins would be by a rift challenges or by logging in instead of so many rift fragments.
On the bloodweb will be a special item a snowball.When you drop it to the killer front it will have his head filled with snow on the screen.
Any addition to it?

Disagree. There's a number of killers that completely bypass the snowman mechanic with their power, making survivors a free M1 that punishes them for bothering with it to get a seasonal reward.

So your solution is to be "unfun" and play those killers?

It's no solution, the event is heavily flawed. Most killers are bypassing the snowman mechanic entirely by using their power on it, so survivors get no reward for the free M1.
I wouldn't call it 'Mettle of Snowman' in the slightest when you can easily prevent anyone from getting the rewards.

Like someone else said in a previous thread: it would be dope if killers could hide in snowman too. You'll probably need to give them undetectable... but i think its a neat idea.

Its mettle of snowman cuz you can avoid a hit despite some killers can cancel it.
Its heavily flawed so I proposed a new event were your fun wont be ruined by a killer power.

I like the idea of being able to throw snowballs at killers. But rift events are boring. There's nothing really going on and it just feels like another grind instead of an event.

And how do you counter them as the Pig, Wraith, Trapper, Clown, Legion, Ghost Face, Myers, Oni, Hag and Nightmare?

Clown, Oni, and to a lesser degree Hag, Wraith, and Legion have in-built abilities to catch back up on the meagre distance that survivors make, so they're already fine.
As for the others, hit them from the front of the snowman so they come out into you, and then just catch back up because they really don't make all that much distance unless they're lucky enough to get a snowman spawn by a strong loop- and even then, the animation to get into them takes long enough that they'd probably be able to reach that loop without the snowman.
If you really struggle against the snowmen, run Save The Best For Last so your wipe animation is shorter.
Regarding the OP, I don't think all of that is necessary- this event would've already been basically flawless if they'd sorted a few unpleasant killer power interactions and possibly reduced the weapon wipe cooldown for hitting a snowman, and if you want to improve it for next time, letting killers hop into snowmen too would be a good move.

Survivors can still get a distance even if you throw at them a bottle as Clown. Oni, Hag, Wraith and Legion powers don't have anything that will help them to counter snowmans.
Save the best for last is useless, since the map is covered with insane strong loops.

I've been playing Clown the most during this event, trust me, if you throw gas down then hit them from the front of the snowman, it's really not that much. Remember that they can also still be hit while they're entering the snowman, which will damage them and remove the snowman, so if you're worried about the "insane strong loops" take solace in knowing the snowmen make no difference to whether someone can reach one in time.
Oni can Demon Dash to someone after they get smacked out of the snowman, Wraith can cloak and catch up quite fast (though admittedly the uncloaking time is a problem there), Hag usually wants to be within her perimeter no matter what so she'll have traps to herd them towards, Legion has Frenzy, though they do have to wait for it to recharge so it's less effective than the others. Not to mention the powers that eliminate the snowmen, like Deathslinger, Doctor, I think Artist, and Bubba.
The snowmen are not a balance problem because they help survivors too much in chase, they really don't. Their problems are to do with unfair power interactions like Twins.

You know how long the succesful cooldown attack is for Oni's during demon dash? It's better to use M1 instead. Wraith is the same pointless, since all his attacks are M1. Hag strategy will also not work since survivors aren't that stupid to run into the trap. Legion has a 4 seconds cooldown, similiar to Oni it's better to hit them with M1, which is useless. Deathslinger, Cenobite, Doctor and Bubba can eliminate snowmens ez, but still I shouldn't be forced to play other killers in order to counter something that is broken.

You shouldn't! Thankfully, the snowmen aren't broken, so you'd just be choosing a killer to play based on a temporary addition that annoys you.

Halloween challenges was okay you get rift fragments and instead of getting it on the daily logging u can get it there.

Alright, so go play Ghostface against this winter charade stuff for awhile, come back and say the same thing without wincing.

As mentioned above, the problem that does exist with this event is a handful of unfair power interactions, like Twins and Ghostface. Not because snowmen are a "third health state" or help even slightly in chase, which is what I'm contesting.
There's also a difference between needing to pick a specific killer to counter something, and needing to not pick a specific killer because they don't fare well.

Well see the thing about it is that it's not a subjective opinion that the snowmen can easily be utilized as a third health state without the burst run effect. That's actually true. And I don't mean to make assumptions, but it doesn't sound like you or many others here can understand what the problem really is with this event from the perspective of a content creator specializing in 'killer' material. I won't get to make any non-meme Ghostface content for two weeks and it isn't even going to be for a good reason...

You're right- it's not a subjective opinion that snowmen can easily be utilised as a third health state, it's just wrong. What's more arguably true is that they function as a free protection hit, but then we get back into the fact that survivors don't actually get all that much out of them beyond however much distance they can make in a little less than the killer's wipe animation, so it's hardly cause for concern.
As for your second point, I empathise. I imagine content creators specialising in the killers who struggle here are going to have a bad time if they don't want to embrace being goofy for the holidays, but at the same time, that's such a niche group of people that I really don't think it's fair to declare the whole event flawed because of it.
