The snow kids are two unnamed recurring characters in SMBC, who in their comics discuss philosophical topics while they walk through a snowy landscape. Usually, the kids are an redheaded girl with gray pants and a mustard jacket over a lavender shirt, and a girl with dark, curly hair with a maroon dress and scarf and a green jacket.

Sometimes the black-haired girl poses a question, sometimes the redheaded girl, and sometimes a question isn't explicitly posed, but either way the latter tends to have a more optimistic outlook and the former a nihilistic one. The former's condescending explanations of her pessimistic views usually bores, annoys, or depresses the latter. The former, on the other hand, doesn't let her grim philosophy affect her happiness, and believes that the reason and emotion parts of her brain are just separate. Zach says this is his own experience in that comic's votey.

The votey often references the fact that they mostly appear in the snow. The title text of Heap-problems claims that they get to do other things, but Need and Clouds-4 refute this, and the redheaded girl says in the votey of Philosophy-3 that they have been trapped out there for ten years. However, in Eat-what-you-kill they appear at a barbecue, and in Free-will they interact with other kids in the snow.

Freudian is the only comic to feature them as adults.

Some comics, such as History-is-weird and Condemned, feature different children. Superluminal is not in snowy conditions, but fits the theme every other way, so is included in the category.
