Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for a snow golem is snow_golem. The snow_golem entity has a unique set of NBT tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as snow_golem). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {NoAI:1}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {NoAI:1, CustomName:”\”Frosty\””}.

NBT Tag Examples
To summon a snow golem that has no artificial intelligence:
/summon snow_golem ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1}
To summon a snow golem that is named Frosty and has no artificial intelligence:
/summon snow_golem ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1, CustomName:"\"Frosty\""}
Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let’s quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=snow_golem value, you can target snow golems:
@e[type=snow_golem]
Target Selector Examples
To change the name of the nearest snow golem to Frosty:
/data merge entity @e[type=snow_golem,limit=1,sort=nearest] {CustomName:"\"Frosty\""}
To kill all snow golems:
/kill @e[type=snow_golem]
