Original answer: The liquid in snow globes is water and anti-freeze. They were once filled with just water but if in cold surrounding would freeze and bust. Although it helped with that problem but the antifreeze is poisonous so keep away from children and animals if its cracked.
Improved answer:
Snow globes which are made overseas may use a combination of antifreeze and water to prevent freezing.
Snow globes made in the United States are held to higher standards and typically use liquids which are safe for consumption (although not the intended use), should a globe break and the liquid be tasted by children or pets. (There are very few snow globe manufacturers in the United States, but there are maybe one or two left.)
Artisans who make individual globes may use water and glycerin to slow down the effect of falling "snow" but these are likely to freeze and must be stored, displayed and shipped where there is no danger of freezing.
This depends on how old the snow globe is, and where it was made.
Very old snow globes were originally made with water. These may develop bacteria and mold over time; the liquid may also yellow depending on what the objects are inside the globe.
Snow globes made overseas are quite often filled with a combination of anti-freeze and water to prevent freezing. Anti-freeze is VERY toxic to pets and humans, so if you own a snow globe made in China, Hong Kong and the like, assume it is dangerous and don't display in an area where it could be broken and have a dog lap it up.
Snow globes made in the last ten years in the United States (by a manufacturer, not an individual) are likely enclosing a food-grade, safe liquid. Nobody recommends you break a snow globe and drink it, but it's good to know that U.S.-made custom-made snow globes are non-toxic.
An individual artist who makes their own globes may use any of the above, but often will try a combination of water and glycerin to slow down the floating of confetti and/or "snow" bits.
The liquid is typically a light oil, with gylcerin or glycol as an antifreeze.
there are a lot of different items that are used to represent "snow" in a snow globe. Old-fashioned globes, and artisan globes today, often used crushed real egg shells to represent snow. If you are making your own, be sure to rinse the shells well in a strainer to get the "dust" off after crushing, so you don't fog up the liquid. Globes made commercially also use plastic composite material designed to float slowly in the snow globe liquid. Some snow globes use types of glitter and/or mylar confetti instead of "snow." The mylar confetti -- when used -- must be tested to be sure it is color-safe in liquid, or it will tint over time. This is why white, silver and some gold confetti and sparkles are the most common as they have less color tint and will stay the original color in the liquid.
It can be impossible BUT sometimes , you can use a shovel or bulldozer.
Liquid
Sticky snow has melted slightly and contains a small amount of liquid water. This lets it cling to objects in the same way that wet sand does. Snow that is loose and powdery does not have liquid water.
If something is preserved in ice or snow it is frozen. When ice is frozen, it is a liquid that has turned into a solid.
If the snow globe was not made in the United States, there is a good chance the liquid may contain anti-freeze, which is very harmful and toxic to pets and small children. Discard the broken snow globe* and take care that the pet does not ingest any liquid. Snowglobes made in the United States (e.g., www.snowglobecentral.com) use a non-toxic, foodgrade liquid, and are safer. *there are companies who will repair your snowglobe and switch out to a safer liquid. This may cost more than the original globe, but is worth it if the snow globe has sentimental value.
Some manufacturers put antifreeze in the snow globe liquid to prevent the liquid from freezing during shipping. Antifreeze could cause damage to the kidneys. Do not allow children to drink the liquid from snow globes. Pets can be poisoned as well, so keep them away if a snow globe breaks. Additional information: Snow globes made in the United States after 2000 will typically use a safer liquid. They do not use anti-freeze which is toxic to pets and humans.

What an interesting question! Most snow globes are fairly simple, with a glass globe, liquid, an interior scene or artwork, something to float in the liquid and a sealant to keep the liquid inside the globe and base. The "energy" would mainly be from shaking the snow globe -- a person picks it up, and shakes it, and the movement of the liquid will cause the glitter or "snow" to swirl and shake as well. The energy in this case is the pull of gravity, slowly bringing all moveable parts back to the bottom of the globe. Some fancy newer globes do add lights, or fans, or mechanical pieces to move the liquid/snow and to create special effects. However, the vast majority of snow globes have energy only in the way that a glass of water contains energy.

There are a number of companies who sell snow globes online. You may wish to search with a specific term such as "disney" snow globe, holiday snow globe, photo snow globe, custom snow globe, romantic snow globe, etc. to identify the type of product you are looking for specifically. Locally, check card stores, discount and department stores (especially in the holiday decoration section), places that sell tourist items, and artisan shops.
Actually, it's not really snow. It's just plastic particles made to look like snow. Now that that's settled, They get the "snow" into the snow globe by putting it in water which is then inserted through a hole in the bottom of the globe. If you look at the bottom of your snow globe, there is most likely a hole with a stopper inside it:)
You need a code for the Liberty Snow Globe. For other snow globes, check the shops in Monstro City.
