Frosty the Snowman
A discarded silk top-hat becomes the magnet for a contest between a washed-up stage magician and a group of schoolchildren, after it miraculously revives a snowman. Realizing that newly-living Frosty will melt come spring unless he seeks refuge in a colder climate, the magic snowman and Karen, a young girl he befriends, stow away on a freight train bound for the North Pole. Little do they know the magician is in pursuit, determined to reclaim his hat!

It's pure nostalgia again. It was on television almost every Christmas from 1969 to today. It was a Christmas tradition... ...and now unfortunately it's a tradition that is being copied by a thousand low-rent cartoons that even snatch the cover in their cheap imitations.... ...but in any case, about two generations of American kids grew up with this as a part of their Christmas holiday, along with Rudolph and the puppet Santa cartoon. It's as much a part of Christmas as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story," and it has spanned the generations. Unfortunately it's on less and less now days and being replaced with, well, with NEW shows that don't have the generational love behind them.
