The Christmas Snowglobe is an ongoing ocean monument construction project and guardian farm, created by Matt on the Current Server world. The build consists of a pre-generated ocean monument near the Lush Ravine, completely encased in glass blocks and drained of all of its surrounding water to resemble a snowglobe, and outfitted with Christmas decorations. It also includes an automatic, totally ethical, Guardian Farm within the monument. It is intended as a possible venue for the Current Server's first Christmas celebration, should the occasion present itself.

The process of draining the exterior water and creating the glass dome is listed as phase 1 of the build, and was completed over 12 days. The snowy interior and various Christmas decorations became phase 2 of the build, and is currently in progress. A third phase to drain the ocean monument itself and create the Guardian Farm was completed in a 2 day span. A fourth phase to decorate the interior of the monument is under consideration.
