Lacey Chabert is set to bring some Christmas magic to Netflix this holiday season with her new rom-com Hot Frosty. The movie, which stars Chabert and Dustin Milligan, will be available for streaming starting November 13. Directed by Jerry Ciccoritti, this romantic comedy takes an unconventional twist, as it tells the story of a woman falling in love with a snowman brought to life.
Plot Details: A Snowman and Second Chances at Love
Set against the backdrop of Christmas, the movie revolves around Kathy, a widow trying to rebuild her life after losing her husband. Played by Lacey Chabert, Kathy is emotionally struggling until she uses a magical scarf to bring a snowman to life, who becomes the charming love interest named Jack (portrayed by Dustin Milligan). As the snowman navigates life in human form, he helps Kathy rediscover joy, love, and laughter.
The film’s synopsis gives further insight:
“Two years after losing her husband, Kathy magically brings a handsome snowman (Dustin Milligan) to life! Through his naïveté, the snowman helps Kathy laugh, feel, and love again as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays… and before he melts.”
