The queen of Christmas has returned The post ‘Hot Frosty’ Cast and Character Guide: Who Plays Who in Netflix’s Christmas Movie? appeared first on TheWrap.

Jerry Ciccoritti's Christmas fantasy rom-com film Hot Frosty was released on Netflix on November 13, 2024, and shortly after its premiere, has garnered much attention from the audience.

More specifically, the exterior scenes of the downtown area in Hot Frosty were filmed in Brockville, a city in Eastern Ontario in Canada. According to a local news report from the city’s HometownTV12, the ice sculpture competition set was constructed outside of the Brockville city courthouse.

With Hallmark Channel’s annual Countdown to Christmas and Lifetime’s It’s a Wonderful Lifetime now in full swing, and Netflix and other networks loading their sleighs, we’re here once again to help you choose between the season’s many offerings.

Here’s the pitch for “Hot Frosty”: A widow wraps an enchanted scarf around a hunky snowman who springs to life and professes his love. Here are the two possible audience reactions: “How dumb!” and “How dumb — can’t wait to watch!”

Hot Frosty is the new Christmas movie streaming on Netflix. It’s the holiday movie you didn’t think you needed.

"Hot Frosty" features three major crossovers with other Netflix Christmas films. This has been a tradition for the streamer since 2017.

"Mean Girls" star Lacey Chabert and "Schitt's Creek" alum Dustin Milligan kick off the holiday season with Netflix's "Hot Frosty." They join '"CBS Mornings" to discuss their magical new romantic comedy.

I think it’s important to add that Hot Frosty may sound like your typical Christmas movie, but it does have a meaning that’s warm to the heart—the kind of warmth where you nestle next to the fire and enjoy a cup of mulled wine while you watch it snow outside.

Netflix's Hot Frosty attempts to inject some flavor into their traditional Christmas movie formula, but the results are still generically saccharine.
