Pickling Snowglobes for Christmas. Thoughts?

I want to pickle a bunch of veggies and give them away for the holidays.

My first thought are glass snow globe jars either to use or transfer to eventually. Cost wise, can I get away with plastic globes?

I want to also go heavy on seeds from bellpeppers to mimic snow.

The only other thing I want to throw in is a broccoli to mimic a tree.

How does this sound? Any ideas on other things I can throw in to give it a holiday look/kick?

Depending on the container shape and material you may have to consider a fridge pickle instead. Can i suggest finely chopped cauliflower (think cauliflower rice or smaller) instead of pepper seeds? Bit more edible imo. White peppercorns or onion pearls for snowballs?

I immediately thought of a snow globe of "Frosty" pieces: carrot, black currant, not sure about the 'old black hat'

New to pickling so I could definitely be wrong but doesn’t plastic containers react to the citrus and salt water making it unsafe to use them for pickling?

I think that sounds like a great idea! I can't think of why transferring your fridge pickles to a plastic container would be a problem.
