Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from Hot Frosty.
If a Netflix Christmas movie is successful, it usually gets a sequel, meaning a secondHot Frostyfilm is a likely possibility, and it cananswer one of the story’s unanswered mysteries.The holiday fantasy romantic comedy centers around a widow (Kathy,played by Lacey Chabert) who accidentally brings a snowman (Jack, played by Dustin Milligan) to life. Over the course ofHot Frosty, the two characters fall in love and must find a way to be together before he inevitably melts.
OtherHot Frostycastmembers include Craig Robinson as Sheriff Hunter, Joe Lo Truglio as Deputy Sheriff Schatz, Katy Mixon Greer as Dottie, and Sherry Miller as Mel, the catalyst for the entire tale. Mel is the one who gives Kathy the red scarf that turns Jack into a human. Kathy stumbles upon him (as a snowman) in the town square, where a snowman-building contest takes place. She wraps the magical scarf around Jack’s neck, bringing him to life. WhileHot Frostyanswers most of the questions concerning the movie’s magic,it leaves out one significant reveal about Jack’s backstory.
