 hot frosty movie 2024

Celebrating Thanksgiving after an election is always fraught. Celebrating Thanksgiving after this election has finally made me understand people who leave their families to go on cruises for the holidays. But we must find joy, or, failing that, distraction, where we can. One thing I am grateful for is that Netflix really overdid it with the Christmas movies this year.In addition to licensing several Hallmark Channel hits, the streamer produced multiple original films (some of which feature Hallmark regulars like Lacey Chabert). They all offer the easy comfort of a rom-com with insane plot points that only someone like Lindsay Lohan could bring to life. Which one should you watch first? All of themConnection to the Lindsay Lohan cinematic universe: It stars Lacey Chabert, Lohan’s old Mean Girls co-star. This is referenced directly in the movie with some light fourth-wall breaking.Will it distract me from my family and the world at large? Yes. The premise itself demands continued attention: A snowman? Has come to life? And he’s hot? We see said snowman, played by Schitt’s Creek star Dustin Milligan, streak naked through the town square, visit a doctor who reads his internal temperature as 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and eat diner food for the first time like a dog. And yet … we know he is the perfect (snow)man for Chabert, a diner owner who is reeling from her husband’s death. (Even that fact is not too sad: It’s presented when Milligan finds some old medical files in Chabert’s basement and asks innocently, “What’s cancer?”) Everything in this movie has a gloss-on-the-lens, old-timey feel: Chabert’s character’s name is Kathy (?); the town sheriff, played by Craig Robinson, has an outsize presence in daily life; and nobody seems to have a smartphone. (Kathy wakes up to a clock radio alarm.) Also, Chrishell Stause from Selling Sunset makes a cameo.Christmas comfort rating: Seven knit scarves imbued with transformational magicConnection to the Lindsay Lohan cinematic universe: It stars Lacey Chabert, Lohan’s old Mean Girls co-star.
