On December 18, Ice T’s wife, Coco Austin, posted an adorable video on Instagram of their daughter, 10-year-old Chanel, playing in the snow with her bulldog pup, Sparty Jr. The family was clearly taking advantage of the first snowfall of the season, and Chanel and her dog made the most of it.

Chanel quickly learned that Sparty loves the taste of fresh snow, and whether she playfully threw some of it in the air for the pup to lick up or delivered it directly to Sparty’s mouth via a snowball, the duo looked so happy playing together.

“Good boy! You did it!” Chanel yelled out as Sparty caught a snowball and chomped away.

“First snowfall of the season and we got a lot of it! Sparty and I went out to enjoy it!” the caption on the video reads, which was posted on Chanel’s Instagram account run by her parents.

Although Ice T wasn’t part of the snow-eating festivities, the longtime Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star did comment on the video, leaving a sweet and simple “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

Fans of the SVU legend’s family also took to the comments to gush over the precious winter moment. “Omg he is eating the snowballs. So stinking cute!” one wrote, while another added, “So cute! A little girl and her pup!”

It wasn’t the first time Ice T’s family showed off their Christmas excitement recently, either.

Ice T returns to Law & Order: SVU in a two-hour crossover event in 2026

Just after the holidays have wrapped up, SVU fans will have another moment to celebrate when Law & Order: SVU returns as part of a huge midseason crossover event with Law & Order on Thursday, January 8, 2026. The crossover begins at 8 p.m. ET and will span two full hours.

Law & Order showrunner Rick Eid previously revealed during an interview with TV Insider that the vision for the crossover “is to have many characters from both shows in both hours, so it feels more like a movie than a handoff to a second show.”

In other words, it’s a Law & Order Thursday no fan will want to miss.
