 Frosty's Winter Wonderland
comment
Frosty's Winter Wonderland is a Christmas Special produced for Rankin/Bass released in 1976, and a direct sequel to Frosty the Snowman. It features narration by Andy Griffith, and features the voices of Dennis Day and Shelley Winters.Some time after the events of the original special, Frosty decides to visit a group of village children, but is lonely when they go home. To ensure he's not alone and sad, the children build him a snow wife, Crystal, but his actions attract jealousy from the winter elemental Jack Frost, who wants rid of Frosty so the children can adore him instead.Followed by the 1979 feature film Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, which gave fans the chance to see Frosty and Crystal in stop-motion 3D, and as parents! The Rankin-Bass version of Frosty would return in 2005's The Legend of Frosty the Snowman, now voiced by Bill Fagerbakke. Not directly related to 1992's Frosty Returns, which is utilized as a companion to the original on television and older home video releases, partially due to the split of Rankin-Bass holdings between NBCUniversal (productions from 1964-1973) and Warner Bros. (1974 and onward).

Heroic BSoD: Frosty has a minor but emotional breakdown when he reveals to the children he's lonely every time they go back inside and he is left all alone. This gives them the idea to make him a wife.

Love Imbues Life
 Frosty's Winter Wonderland / int_1a5cae38
comment
Love Imbues Life: The kids build Crystal, a snow-wife for Frosty. She receives the gift of life out of the love Frosty immediately felt for her, embodied in a bouquet of frost flowers he gives her. Later, a gust of wind snatches away Frosty's hat (turning him back into a non-sentient snowman) but Crystal's love allows him to become alive again without the need of his magic hat.

Debating Names: As a Call-Back to the original, the kids argue over what to name Frosty's new snow-wife. The suggestions include "Cleopatra", "Ermentrude", "Minnehaha" and "Cornflakes", before Frosty comes up with "Crystal".

Heel–Face Turn: Jack Frost experiences one when Crystal acknowledges his importance and invites him to participate in the wedding and kisses him on the cheek, prompting him to exclaim "Happy birthday!" In subsequent specials, he's a friend and powerful ally every time he appears again.

Religion is Magic: Parson Brown explains to the kids that he can't marry Frosty and Crystal since they aren't humans, and suggests they build a snow-parson who can do the job. They do, and Parson Brown brings it to life by giving it a Bible ("A parson's not a parson till he holds the Good Book in his hand!").

Reasonable Authority Figure: Parson Brown may not be able to wed Frosty and Crystal himself, but offers to help the kids build a snow-parson to do so in his stead. Afterward, when Jack Frost and the kids want winter to last forever so Frosty and Crystal won't have to leave again, Parson Brown gently tells them how this wouldn't be good for the trees and flowers that are waiting for spring to come, since "nature made them a promise."

Early-Bird Cameo: During the "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" musical number as Frosty and Crystal are imagining life as a newlywed couple moments before getting married. Their snowchildren, Milly and Chilly make a brief appearance before making their proper debut in the 1979 crossover movie Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July.
