There is not a single character who is not a caricature, and Jerry Ciccoritti’s direction fully embraces the most ridiculous and implausible parts of its central fantasy. [Full review in Spanish

A charming film if you can put aside that the male romantic lead is, for all intents and purposes, a child

…leave your objectification anxiety at the door, as a thirst trap for desperate house-wives of all sexes, Hot Frosty passes muster as innocuous holiday fun, a product of the Netflix division making bland Hallmark movies with slightly saltier personnel.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 23, 2024

This film is not good. Yet it somehow has enough charm to be slightly entertaining.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 18, 2024

This is an absurd movie that you can't take your eyes off. It felt like all of the actors were in different films with Craig Robinson being the most enjoyable out of the bunch.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 18, 2024

...an agreeably absurd premise that’s employed to sporadically watchable yet mostly lackluster effect...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 16, 2024

Hot Frosty sets out to do is exactly what it does. It matters not that every viewing of this should come with Lactaid. It is cheesy, gooey fare that is only ever serious when it comes to its assertion on earnest sincerity

| Dec 13, 2024

There's a sincere pleasure in slipping down the ludicrous slide that is Hot Frosty's premise, in which a hot, naive, but very sweet man is the perfect Christmas wish — for Kathy and for any of us who may need a bit of comfort from a cold, cold world.

Hot Frosty packs in a lot of the entries from your Christmas Movie Bingo Card, including cookie baking, decking the halls and a dressing-room montage, as we wait to see whether Kathy’s heart will thaw before Jack’s body melts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2024

It’s campy, goofy, and good-natured, which I think might be all it was really trying to do.

| Dec 5, 2024

Each new idea is worse than the last. And there’s nothing particularly snowman-y about Jack except he can’t get too warm or he’ll die, and he snacks on ice cubes.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 4, 2024

Pointless film.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 3, 2024

Hot Frosty isn't without flaws, it's precisely what you'd expect and want from a Christmas movie. It's charming, funny, and full of the Christmas spirit.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 29, 2024

Hot Frosty isn’t for the lactose-intolerant, but it’ll do if you’re just searching for something decent enough to scratch that holiday romance bite.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 26, 2024

Despite a suggestive title and marketing around star Milligan's muscular physique, this holiday romcom is more sweet than spicy.

| Nov 25, 2024

It’s dumb, but it’s funny. It’s sweet and a little sexy, and everyone in it knew exactly what movie they were making.

| Nov 25, 2024

Hot Frosty has more than its share of corniness, but it’s a pretty charming Christmas movie that should melt the hearts of viewers willing to go along with it.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 25, 2024

With so-so performances and an immensely dumb conceit, this is snow Christmas classic. Still, it’s less naughty, more ice than we might have expected. 

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 22, 2024

Netflix's Hot Frosty attempts to inject some flavor into their traditional Christmas movie formula, but the results are still generically saccharine.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 20, 2024

I definitely wish that Hot Frosty pushed the envelope a little more in several ways. Alas, even though it plays it safe on all fronts, it’s got enough quirky, silly charm to make it worth your time.
