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.

Johnny Oleksinski

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

Boston Globe

this one plays like a porn movie if all the sex were removed and the ridiculous threadbare plot were fleshed out instead.

Rated: 1/4

Hot Frosty packs in a lot of the entries from your Christmas Movie Bingo Card, including cookie baking, decking the halls and a dressing-room montage, as we wait to see whether Kathy’s heart will thaw before Jack’s body melts.

Rated: 3/5

It’s campy, goofy, and good-natured, which I think might be all it was really trying to do.

I didn’t expect to like this so much, but I tied on and enjoyed it. It’s definitely funny and romantic. I’d probably watch it again.

Genuinely just a feel good, goofy-ahh Christmas movie!! I started out very skeptical, but the comedy and heartfelt scenes of Jack becoming one with his community were very sweet. I had a wonderful time laughing at all the jokes, and was impressed by how the tropey-narrative actually become pretty enjoyable. Definitely had a lot of laughs and just an overall delightful time watching it. My boyfriend and I have watched a lot of “cringey” Christmas romcoms as per our holiday traditions, but this one was a lot of fun! Recommend if you just looking for a silly time over some drinks and with good company!

Another movie that I found fine to watch to while away a couple of hours. I thought it was cute and enjoyable. Again, no Academy Awards. No edge of seat excitement. No cutting edge story lines. Just a cute movie with attractive actors and a predictable happy ending. Kind of what we've come to expect from holiday movies. If you want more than that, keep looking.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
