The film is being directed by Schitt’s Creek‘s Jerry Ciccoritti, with a script from the writer behind Hallmark’s , Russell Hainline. In addition to Chabert, Hot Frosty is set to star Dustin Milligan, who is best known for playing Ted on Schitt’s Creek.

“Two years after losing her husband, Cathy magically brings a handsome snowman to life! Through his naïveté, the snowman helps Cathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays…and before he melts.”
Hot Frosty is one of multiple holiday films that Netflix has set to release later this year. One of those films is the third rom-com collaboration between Netflix and Lindsay Lohan. Our Little Secret comes from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure director Stephen Herek and co-stars Chris Parnell, Kristin Chenowith, and Tim Meadows. The slate also includes the Christina Millian-starring Meet Me Next Christmas.
There isn’t a specific release date for Hot Frosty just yet, but the film is set to begin production soon. Given the holiday theme, it’ll arrive at some point in November or December.
