Ha...well to seriously answer your question, icicles are formed when dripping water freezes. Like if it is a snowy day, and the snow is melting off a car or a house, when the temperature gets to freezing again, all that melting water freezes back up, so you're left with icicles!
Or maybe they just come from reindeers peeing...lol...:)

An icicle is a spike of ice formed when water dripping or falling from another object freezes. Typically, icicles will form when ice or snow is melted by either sunlight or some other heat source (such as heat leaking from the interior of a heated building), and the resulting melted water runs off into an area where the ambient temperature is below the freezing point of water (0°C/32°F), causing the water to refreeze. Over time continued water runoff will cause the icicle to grow
