Steps:

• Chill a baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the roundest balls you can make with an ice cream scoop and place on the chilled baking sheet. Scoop one ball of vanilla into a ball twice the size of the others. Scoop the orange sherbet into a ball half the size of the medium vanilla balls, leaving a bit of a ruffle around the bottom (this will become the snowman's hat). Reserve the remaining sherbet for another use. Freeze the balls until solid, about 1 hour, or until ready to serve. Chill a large punch bowl in the freezer until it is very cold, about 30 minutes.
• Reserve 1 medium vanilla ice cream ball and pile the rest of the medium balls in the middle of the punch bowl.

Insert 5 chocolate chips in a line down one side of the large ball for buttons (press the pointy tops of the chips into the ball).
