‘Hot Frosty’ Review: Lacey Chabert Trades Fruitcake for Beefcake in Netflix’s Heartwarming Holiday Romp


A grieving widow and a little Christmas magic turn a six-pack-sporting snowman into a helpful household himbo in Netflix’s delightful 'Hot Frosty.'

The narrative delivers some refreshing highlights for the benefit of Netflix’s Holiday Cinematic Universe, specifically acknowledging its target audience’s yearning for a sprinkling of cheeky, wanton lust alongside its gentle yet genuine dramatics. To set the tone, the camera pivots in its opening descent upon the picturesque town of Hope Springs, from a quaint two-story decked out in festive decor to an undecorated neighboring house where Kathy ( Lacey Chabert) dwells. Kathy wraps it around an unconventional snowman sculpture in the center square, and, in the middle of the night as snowflakes swirl and magical chimes tinkle on the soundtrack, he’s transformed into a naked hot dude named Jack (Dustin Milligan).
