Jack Frost (played by Michael Keaton) is a loving husband and father but his band often takes him on the road, leaving little time to be with his family. On Christmas Eve he leaves home and heads out for a gig but has a change of heart and turns around to go home.

But as heavy snowfall hits the Medford, Colorado area, Jack swerves off the road and goes where his family can’t follow. His son, Charlie, is devastated by the loss, but it’s short-lived when, in a heartwarming turn of events, his father returns as a snowman.

They spend the next 24 hours in each other’s company, finding closure and finally creating the memories that were missed while Jack was alive. This treasured film lives on in our hearts and is a must-watch each holiday season.

Where to stream: HBO Max, Spectrum TV, Philo, Prime Video, Vudu, Apple TV, and Redbox
