Good question.  The "snow" is painted on.  If it were up to me, I'd wet sand the edges of the "snow" with at least 800 grit paper and then prime to see if the margins are still there.  If so, sand again and prime again until no visible margin remains.

Jerry,

An update, although I would not try this on the entire car, I was able to pretty much erase the snow line using a Kwick Strip product, Brush Cleaner with some Q tips. Also I found on one car that I had to go down to the plastic to get rid of any sign of the Polar Express lettering.

I did find a stripper that will take the paint down to the plastic but will not recommend it to anyone, it got so thick that I was afraid I would never get it off of the shell.
