Snowball fights were a constant at the annual Christmas in Rockefeller Gardens event.

Kids battled for a chance to get to the top of the snow hill.

The "teen" snow area was a little more intense.

A 75-foot snow slide was a popular attraction.

Deziree Luchterhand, 8, was all smiles after her trip down the snow slide.

In the midst of a particularly warm Saturday afternoon, children young and old were playing in an unusual form of Florida precipitation: snow.

Some kids dressed the part and were decked out in beanies and gloves. Others were a little more realistic and braved the snow in swim trunks. All participated in their own versions of a snowball fight.

Among the inflatables and Christmas games at Salty Church's annual Christmas at Rockefeller Gardens event, a popular attraction was the 75-foot snow slide where everyone took a turn going down on an intertube.

One little girl caught some air, and all left smiling.
