Critics Consensus

Knowingly goofy with its steamy twist on the magic of Christmas, Hot Frosty is an affable rom-com that ought to thaw the hearts of even the most skeptical of viewers.

There's a sincere pleasure in slipping down the ludicrous slide that is Hot Frosty's premise, in which a hot, naive, but very sweet man is the perfect Christmas wish — for Kathy and for any of us who may need a bit of comfort from a cold, cold world.

Each new idea is worse than the last. And there’s nothing particularly snowman-y about Jack except he can’t get too warm or he’ll die, and he snacks on ice cubes.

2/5

With so-so performances and an immensely dumb conceit, this is snow Christmas classic. Still, it’s less naughty, more ice than we might have expected.

With Hot Frosty, it’s clear there’s still room for plenty of innovation even within the same basic framework. If you’re looking for some heartfelt vibes this holiday season, look no further.

I’ve spent too much time talking about “Hot Frosty”, which might mean it did its job as a social experiment.

Hot Frosty is absolutely absurd and awful, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Lacey is a good actress and played a cute character. The rest of this film is pretty bad - the plot is terrible. The charm falls flat about 1/2 of the way in. Hot mess.

What an absolute charcuterie of Christmas themed cheese. It’s ridiculous, child like, naive and oh so festive. I recommend for those who don’t take their Christmas season too seriously.

This is a lighthearted and fun Christmas movie. Very easy watching, I loved watching it wrapping presents and feeling festive. Not innovative but what more could you want?

Even the popcorn meter is too generous with it’s rating 🤦🏻‍♀️ unless you just want to watch something cringe, in that case it gets 5 ⭐️ 💁🏻‍♀️
