The trailer for Lacey Chabert’s Netflix Christmas movie is here and it literally stars a ‘Schitt’s Creek’ stud as a snowman

Hot Frosty, Netflix’s newest holiday romcom starring Lacey Chabert, is a quirky addition to the classic holiday lineup. Known for her Hallmark Christmas hits, Chabert is now taking her holiday spirit to Netflix in a storyline that’s raising eyebrows – and getting some laughs. Hot Frosty features Chabert as Kathy, a widow whose life is suddenly “thawed” when a snowman she builds transforms into a human named Jack, played by Dustin Mulligan (familiar to Schitt’s Creek fans as Ted Mullens).

In the trailer, the movie leans into the romcom staples while embracing the bizarre setup with lines like “Good things come to you when you’re out in the cold.” Jack, somehow transformed from snowman to person, is frequently shirtless and full of winter puns as he learns what it means to be human. Reactions online range from amusement to confusion, with viewers questioning the creative leap behind the idea. But Hot Frosty also strikes a chord with fans of Chabert and holiday romcoms, promising plenty of cozy, if cheesy, holiday magic.

A scene sure to bring a laugh to Mean Girls fans shows Kathy and Jack watching a movie featuring Lindsay Lohan, prompting Kathy to remark, “That looks just like a girl I went to high school with.” Though the concept is lighthearted, the movie keeps Chabert’s character grounded, as she’s still grappling with widowhood, but ready for new holiday magic. Hot Frosty is set to melt hearts—or at least entertain—on November 13, 2024.
