Frosty the Snowman

Network: NBC

Premieres: Thursday, Dec. 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT

A discarded magic top hat brings to life the snowman that a group of children made, until a magician, professor Hinkle, wants it back, and the temperature starts to rise. Frosty will melt or no longer be a jolly soul, if the kids cannot get him away from Hinkle and warm weather, so he hops a train to the North Pole with young Karen.
