The wiki lists the Snowball as coming from one of the "other stages", specifically the "Christmas" stage. I haven't seen that stage anywhere. How can I play that stage? Can I get that artifact any other way, like as a reward from completing a Beyond quest?

The snowball artifact (and all other Christmas-associated items) were part of a time-limited Christmas event. As mentioned in a December update on Steam:
Those of you have unlocked Hard Mode will be able to find new Snowball artifacts. Use Snowballs in a Beyond recipe to access the special Christmas stage.
They clarify in a later update that the drops will be available again, but I cannot tell if they include the snowballs and associated stage or only the holiday rewards in their idea of what's available:
1We wanted to let you know that DemonCrawl's Christmas Event will be coming to a close soon, on Tuesday, December 31st at around 4 PM EST... There are only a couple days left to unlock your special holiday items! If you miss this opportunity, worry not - you will be able to find the same items again next year in the form of Beyond Mode drops.
