Two years after losing her husband, Kathy magically brings a handsome snowman to life! Through his naïveté, the snowman helps Kathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays... and before he melts.

Critics Consensus

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.

There's a sincere pleasure in slipping down the ludicrous slide that is Hot Frosty's premise, in which a hot, naive, but very sweet man is the perfect Christmas wish — for Kathy and for any of us who may need a bit of comfort from a cold, cold world.

New York Post

Each new idea is worse than the last. And there’s nothing particularly snowman-y about Jack except he can’t get too warm or he’ll die, and he snacks on ice cubes.

Rated: 1/4

Empire Magazine

With so-so performances and an immensely dumb conceit, this is snow Christmas classic. Still, it’s less naughty, more ice than we might have expected. 

Rated: 2/5

El Nuevo Día (Puerto Rico)

There is not a single character who is not a caricature, and Jerry Ciccoritti’s direction fully embraces the most ridiculous and implausible parts of its central fantasy. [Full review in Spanish

A charming film if you can put aside that the male romantic lead is, for all intents and purposes, a child

…leave your objectification anxiety at the door, as a thirst trap for desperate house-wives of all sexes, Hot Frosty passes muster as innocuous holiday fun, a product of the Netflix division making bland Hallmark movies with slightly saltier personnel.

Rated: 3/5

I wanted a light rom com and thought I was prepared to enjoy the intentionally silly plot, but I don’t know how I got through it. The cast did their best with the material and I felt for them. Wish I’d cleaned my oven instead.

Frosty felt too old to be innocent. Like-you’re not a baby, figure it out. Also, seemed like he had three frosty babies rolling around with the strong preexisting dad vibes, lack of chemistry, and the weird bad boy undertones that reminded me in their subtlety of Edward scissor hands…the charm and nuance that make the latter so good. Frosty felt desperate and in a desperate environment. Would watch again very drunk.

Cheesy story about how a snowman figure suddenly coming back to life. Despite it being cheesy, it does fit on the comedy section. There is romance and love that was shown and not overbearing to watch. It nevertheless introduces a woman who missed her husband and then magic helped her found love. There were many funny bits which may seem too much for the older audience, but I understand the necessity of it. It never struck me as how a snowman turns out to be a fast learner and a girl magnet at the same time. Would I watch it again? Maybe not. But is it worth watching for the first time? Sure!
