Plot
On Christmas Eve, a terrible magician named Professor Hinkle is called to the schoolhouse to perform for the class Christmas party, but fails. After, the children go out to play in the snow where they build a snowman and name him "Frosty".

Suddenly, Hinkle's pet rabbit; Hocus Pocus, hops outside and a gust of wind blows the hat onto Frosty, bringing him to life, delighting the children. But as for Hinkle, after discovering this as well, takes the hat back after the wind blows it off Frosty's head.

The other children object, but he tells each of them that when they grow up, they will learn that snowmen can't come to life and then leaves. Hocus, however, hops back to the school courtyard with the hat and the children bringing back Frosty to life again.

Frosty is then amazed with all the things he can do since he is alive and well, until he feels the temperature is rising, which could cause him to melt until they realize the only place he'd never melt is the North Pole. The children decide to take him there as they parade through town, shocking other people including the traffic cop.

They reach the train station, but with no money to buy a ticket, Karen and Frosty to stow away on a train while Hinkle manages to sneak aboard, determined to get the hat back.

Noticing that Karen is then freezing in the boxcar, Frosty realizes that she has to get out.

With Karen still freezing, they find the forest animals decorating their Christmas tree and they build Karen a fire while Frosty and Hocus all decide that Santa Claus to help Karen get back home and Frosty to the North Pole. That night, as Frosty waits patiently for Santa while Hocus is with the woodland animals, Hinkle shows up and demands Frosty to give him back the hat.

Frosty and Karen both escape from him and find a greenhouse to warm up in until a vengeful Hinkle catches up to them and slams the door, trapping them inside. Santa then arrives and he and Hocus goes to the greenhouse, only to find Karen crying over a melted Frosty.

Santa explains to her that Frosty is made of Christmas snow and will always come back every winter. He then opens the door, letting in a magic Christmas wind, bringing Frosty back to life.

But just as they're about to put his hat on, Hinkle shows up and demands he wants the hat back again. Santa warns him that if he ever does take it, he'll never get another Christmas present from him.

He then tells him to write his apologies and on Christmas morning, he'll get a new hat. Delighted, Hinkle runs home to write his apologies in the hopes of it.

Santa then brings Frosty back to life, takes Karen home and brings Frosty back to the North Pole, promising to return next year when another Christmas snowfall comes.

As the end credits roll, Frosty and the children parade through town. The townspeople also join the parade, including the traffic cop, and a redeemed Hinkle wearing his new hat, who became Frosty's friend.

At the end of the parade, Frosty boards Santa's sleigh and they leave for the North Pole with Frosty altering the last song lyric, saying, "I'll be back on Christmas Day!"
