The new film that has surpassed Hot Frosty is called The Merry Gentlemen, which stars Britt Robertson and Chad Michael Murray. It is a bit more scandalous than Hot Frosty given its subject matter. The official synopsis: “To save her parents' small-town performing venue, a former big-city dancer decides to stage an all-male, Christmas-themed revue.”

The holiday romantic comedy 'Hot Frosty' has shot to the number one spot among Netflix movies. Some adore its "sheer ridiculousness."

Hot Frosty is Netflix's latest Christmas themed rom-com that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about snow-people relations.

Netflix's top 10 movies has been taken over by Christmas flicks, with the festive rom-com Meet Me Next Christmas falling behind the current no. 1 movie Hot Frosty, which has pulled in 26 million views worldwide in the week ending November 17.

Netflix's new Christmas movie, 'Hot Frosty,' features a very buff snowman brought to life. Shockingly, it doesn't make much sense.

More specifically, the exterior scenes of the downtown area in Hot Frosty were filmed in Brockville, a city in Eastern Ontario in Canada. According to a local news report from the city’s HometownTV12, the ice sculpture competition set was constructed outside of the Brockville city courthouse.

From Netflix comes the Hallmark-inspired romcom “Hot Frosty”. Kathy (Lacey Chabert) is a chef who recently became a widow. She’s unable to repair the damage caused by her tragic loss both figuratively and literally, as the walls of her home are caving in and in disrepair.

In this rom-com, Mean Girls icon Lacey Chabert, 42, stars as a woman who falls in love with a snowman, played by Schitt’s Creek’s Dustin Milligan, 39 – and, yes, that is in fact the actual plot. Before watching, I heard that the ‘sexy snowman’ film had a better Rotten Tomatoes score than Gladiator, and I just knew it was the film for me.
