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.”

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

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

Needless to say my eyebrow raised a bit when I saw that a movie called “Hot Frosty” was the #1 movie on Netflix this week. But it's good

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.

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.

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.
