Guide Note

Although Frosty Returns is the half-hour animated Christmas special that CBS airs right after the original Frosty the Snowman each December, Frosty's Winter Wonderland might be considered the true sequel as it was made by the same producers and also featured original "Frosty" Jackie Vernon as the voice of the title character.
