Ded Moroz and Summer (also known as Father Frost and Summer) (Russian: Дед Мороз и лето, romanized: Ded Moroz i leto) is a 1969 Soviet animated children's Novy God cartoon about how Ded Moroz (Russian equivalent to Santa Claus) finds out what summer is.

Ded Moroz[2] is at his house in a wintry setting, packing and painting toys for children.

Despite the animals around his house thinking he’s gone mad for pondering such an idea, Ded Moroz resolves to find out.

The children, eager to help, give him ice cream to cool down and accompany him to explore the lush green forests, fields, and lively creatures of the season.

Delighted by the experience, Ded Moroz is inspired by the beauty of summer, shares ice cream with the children as thanks, and returns to his northern home aboard a hot air balloon.
