What is the legend of frosty the snowman?

The legend of Frosty the Snowman centers around a magical snowman brought to life by a discarded silk hat.

• The Origins: The story typically begins with a group of children building a snowman, whom they name Frosty.
• The Magic Hat: When a magician's discarded top hat is placed on Frosty's head, he miraculously comes to life. This hat seems to be the source of Frosty's magical animation.
• Life and Adventure: Animated with life, Frosty is jovial and playful. He often embarks on adventures with the children, usually trying to escape the warming weather and find a place where he won't melt.
• The Villain (Sometimes): The magician from whom the hat was discarded often plays a role, sometimes as an antagonist who seeks to reclaim his hat, as he believes it contains real magic.
• The Inevitable Thaw: A recurring theme is the threat of Frosty melting. The children and Frosty then must travel to the north pole so that he can survive the warm weather.
• The Promise of Return: Despite melting at the end of many versions of the story, Frosty reassures the children that he will be back again someday, usually when the winter winds blow.
