Yet another hollow snowman to set on top of a LED pad. Mine features a complete support free print and 70mm space at the base for 65-70mm LED-PADs like these:

remote controlled LED Pads ~70mm.
(you can probably get them cheaper at Ali Express, it is just one many possible lighting options).

If you want to use a smaller light (e.g. 34mm LED Tealight), you can scale the snowman in your slicer to your needs. I'd recommend to scale all axis the same amount (locked scaling). On 100% Sice it is about 15cm high, 10cm wide and 8cm deep. At the Base it needs 75mm space to stand on.

The most usable filament for this is probably transparent (uncolored) PLA or PETG. I printed it in 0.2mm resolution. I used a wallcount of only 1 to get thin walls - so that with the transparent PLA the light would get through really good - be aware though, that this makes the snowman somewhat delicate. It is sturdy enough for a visual ornament, but you can crush it easily with one hand if you grip it hard. It's more to look at than to play with.

More walls will make it more sturdy, but also more opaque.

Notes:

You probably want to use a brim (or a raft if your bed adhesion is not so good), but it is not neccessary if your bed adhesion ist very good. Use a wall count of 1 in your slicer for use as a visual ornament (with transparent PLA), and 2 or 3 and an infill of 20-25% if it should be more like a sturdy toy for a kid, printed e.g. with white PLA.
