Plot: Frosty the Snowman goes where he is needed most, and the town of Evergreen sure needs a visit. Mr. Tinkerton, the mayor, runs a tight ship, and there's no room for talk of magic or any other such nonsense. But, when Frosty the Snowman blows through town, he shows the town's children that magic is real. Tickerton's sons, Charlie and Tommy, along with their friends Sarah and Walter, want to spread the word about Frosty's fun-loving, magical antics but meets resistance from Evergreen Elementary's dastardly principal Hank Pankley. In the end, good wins out, and all the citizens of Evergreen happily learn that magic is real and fun is for everyone!

Miss Carbunkle: Snow belongs in its proper places: mountain tops, poetry, and songs by Bing Crosby!

Holly: Don't leave, Frosty.::Frosty: Don't worry, kid, I'll be back. Just give me some time to find a new bowtie. This time no polka dots, maybe green or blue. I like blue. Brings out my eyes.

Lil: It's the greatest invention since microwave pancakes!

Kid: My dad says snow causes heart attacks.::Charles: He must have snow confused with chili dogs. Any other questions?

Frosty: What do you say we find a safer place to talk, like Siberia?

Holly: This is my friend Charles.::Frosty: Nice to meet you. I take it he doesn't dance... Doesn't blink much either.

Miss Carbunkle: It's no winter wonderland when you're skidding into a telephone pole!

Lil: Holly? Oh, there you are! You locked your best friend in a box and just ran off. Now how are you going to feel when poor Charles grows up and has to join a support group?

Holly: What are you looking for?::Charles: Batteries.::Frosty: Face it, kid, there are some things that can't be explained, like rhythm.

Mr. Twitchell: Hold it, stop the car. Stop the car! And stop the music!

Realizing that newly-living Frosty will melt in spring unless he takes refuge in a colder climate, Frosty and a young girl who he befriends stow away on a freight train headed for the north pole. Little do they know that the magician is following them, and he wants his hat back. This animated short is based on the popular Christmas song of the same name.

Quotes:

Frosty: This looks like a good place to keep warm, and I'd love to look at the beautiful poinsettias in there. Let's go in.::Karen: But you'll melt.::Frosty: Just a little. I'm only gonna be in there for a minute. Besides, I've been wanting to lose a few pounds anyway.

Narrator: You see, Frosty, since he was made out of snow, was the fastest belly-whopper... in the world.

[repeated line]::Frosty: Happy birthday!

Frosty: Happy birthday! Hey, I said my first words. But... But snowmen can't talk. [chuckles] All right, come on now, what's the joke? Could - could I really be alive?

Professor Hinkle: We evil magicians have to make a living, too.

Santa Claus: Now you go home and write "I am very sorry for what I did to Frosty" a hundred zillion times. And then maybe - just maybe, mind you - you'll find something in your stocking tomorrow morning.::Professor Hinkle: Like - a new hat, maybe? Ohh, yes, sir! Goodbye, everyone! Sorry to lose and run, but I've got to get busy writing, busy, busy, busy!

Professor Hinkle: Voila, the eggs have turned into... messy, messy, messy!

Professor Hinkle: I must get that hat back! Think nasty, think nasty, think nasty! [cackles]

Santa Claus: Don't cry, Karen, Frosty's not gone for good. You see, he was made out of Christmas snow and Christmas snow can never disappear completely. It sometimes goes away for almost a year at a time and takes the form of spring and summer rain. But you can bet your boots that when a good, jolly December wind kisses it, it will turn into Christmas snow all over again.::Karen: Yes, but... He was my friend.::Santa Claus: Just watch.

Narrator: Hocus explained the situation to Santa, who as you know, speaks a fluent rabbit. And, when they didn't find Frosty and Karen on the hill, Santa followed Frosty's path in the snow to the greenhouse. But when they got inside, a terrible sight met their eyes.
