Mariska Hargitay is making the most of the cold wintry weather!
The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star took to Instagram on Tuesday, Jan. 16, with a fun video of herself spread out on the ground making snow angels.
The clip, appropriately set to the tune of Bill Withers' "Lovely Day," is in celebration of the upcoming 25th season of the show.
Hargitay donned the chic outfit of a cream sweater paired with metallic grey ski pants and UGG boots.
"Favorite new way to start premiere week!" she captioned the snippet, alongside a slew of descriptive hashtags giving further insight into the content: "#SnowWeekShowWeek #SnowAngelsForDays #Season25Premiere #SilverAnniversary #SilverPantsSilverSeason #TwoMoreSleeps❄️❄️❄️👼."
Fans in the comments section of the upload simply couldn't get enough of the snow-filled footage.
"Why does this feel so satisfying and soft to watch? You look so so small just like a kid 😭🤏🏻," one said.
Meanwhile, a few others complimented her winter weather fashion, writing, "Ok these pants tho 🔥," "The pants🔥🔥🔥," and "I’m in love with those silver pants, what a way to start Premier Week!!"
"Oh you're BRAVE!! I would've froze simply at the thought of doing this!! 😭❄️🥶 The snow pants fashion is 10/10 though!! 🙌🏿🪩," another concurred.
"That snow is lucky," a jealous fan admitted, in part, as someone else agreed, joking, "i wish i was the snow."
Two more Instagram users continued to gush, "A literal ❄️👼‼️‼️‼️" and "You are the most awesome human on this planet! Love how you love life hard!!"

Even the official Instagram account of NBC's Law & Order dropped a comment, calling the snowy moment a "major mood."
"Aren’t you so happy to have the #SVU squad back that YOU want. ❤️ Thank you for your dedication to SVU and for getting @kelligiddish back as apart of the team. 🙌🏻 Can’t wait to see what season 25 has to offer us! ☺️," another fan applauded.
It was announced in Nov. 2023 that Kelli Giddish would be returning to the long-running procedural as Detective Amanda Rollins for the Season 25 premiere, after previously reprising the role for the Season 24 finale (a crossover event with Law & Order: Organized Crime). She previously exited the series in Dec. 2022.
In a separate post shared a few hours earlier, Hargitay—who has been on the crime-drama series since its inception in 1999—celebrated 25 "historic" years of the show as its 25th season prepares to premiere on Thursday, Jan. 18.
Catch it at 9/8c on NBC, followed by the Season 4 premiere of Law & Order: Organized Crime featuring former SVU star, Christopher Meloni.
