“Guys! I am watching a film about a sexy snowman.”

“Hang on, the vet from Schitt’s Creek is the sexy snowman?”

“I wonder if they’re going to have sex. I’m not sure if I can watch that.”

It’s been a while since I’ve WhatsApped my reactions to a film to my friends – but when I sat down to watch Hot Frosty they got treated to every thought and feeling I had about it. And now you’ll get to hear them, too. Because Hot Frosty, it turns out, is everything I want from a Christmas film: pure escapism with its tongue firmly in its cheek.

The name alone gives you a sense of how unseriously this Netflix film takes itself. And when the world outside feels this tough and cold, who needs serious?
