"Une traduction de la populaire chanson "Frosty de snowman" dans laquelle un bonhomme de neige prend mystérieusement vie lorsque ses jeunes créateurs posent sur sa tête un vieux chapeau visiblement un peu magique. Les enfants et leur bonhomme partagent des jeux endiablés et tournoient avec allégresse autour du grand sapin dressé sur la grande place jusqu''à ce qu''un policier mette un terme à leur parade dans les rues du village. Avant de les quitter, le bonhomme rassure toutefois ses jeunes amis et leur confie qu''il sera de retour demain, après avoir dansé par les monts et vallées."--SDM.
