Interesting Frosty The Snowman Facts

By the time Hocus and Santa make it to the greenhouse, Frosty is already melted. Santa explains to a heartbroken Karen that Frosty is made of Christmas snow and will return every winter.

What is Frosty Jacks made of?
A refreshingly crisp sparkling cider made from the juice of bittersweet and culinary apples

When Frosty attempts to count to 10, he starts counting to five on his fingers, and he has five fingers on one hand and four on the other. Then after he realizes he can only count to five correctly and chuckles, both hands have four.

 Crystal is a female snow person who is the wife of Frosty

Is Frosty the Snowman a golem?
Frosty is a Snow Golem created by the ebil moglin necromancer Zorbak, to be part of his Ebil Empire and ruin the holiday of Frostval.

How tall was Frosty the Snowman?
Frosty is about six feet tall and let's say 16 inches in diameter, for a total weight of about 600 pounds

What is Frosty the Snowman's phone number?
484-552-2180
Callers of all ages can dial the hotline — 484-552-2180 — and leave a message for one of four holiday characters: Frosty the Snowman, Buddy the Elf, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or Santa Claus.
