Meet the living snowball also known as the Japanese snow fairy. Its official name is Shima-enaga (シマエナガ in Japanese), which is a subspecies of the long-tailed tit (scientific name: *Aegithalos caudatus japonicus*). This particular subspecies is found only in Hokkaido, Japan, where its pure white face and puffed-up feathers in winter give it that iconic "snow fairy" vibe.
