Hot Frosty

Hot Frosty is a 2024 American Christmas romantic comedy film directed by Jerry Ciccoritti, written by Russell Hainline, and starring Lacey Chabert, Dustin Milligan, Katy Mixon Greer, Lauren Holly, Chrishell Stause, Joe Lo Truglio, and Craig Robinson.

Chabert plays Kathy, a widow who counters her loneliness with a magical snowman brought to life (portrayed by Milligan).

Kathy Barrett runs Kathryn’s Kafé in downtown Hope Springs, New York.

Kathy takes lunch to her friends, Theo and Mel, at their second-hand clothing shop, Reclaimed Rags.

On her way home, she passes by a snow sculpture competition, and places the scarf on a muscular snowman and takes a picture.

As he runs naked from an elderly couple and their dogs, he accidentally falls through the clothing shop window.

In the morning, Kathy finds him talking to the other snowmen and invites him into her diner for a bite to eat.

When she arrives home that evening, Jack surprises her with homemade pizza, which he learned to make watching a cooking show.

As Jack is fixing the roof, Kathy's neighbor drives into a snowbank, distracted at the sight of the shirtless man.

Jack helps decorate the school hall, and overhears a student invite another to the dance.

The website's consensus reads: "Knowingly goofy with its steamy twist on the magic of Christmas, Hot Frosty is an affable rom-com that ought to thaw the hearts of even the most skeptical of viewers.
