About the Song

Written in 1950 by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins, Frosty The Snowman quickly became a seasonal favourite after Gene Autry’s hit recording. The song tells the light-hearted tale of a snowman brought to life by a magical hat, whose brief, joyful adventure has charmed generations. Later film and television versions, including the well-known animated special, helped to cement its place in Christmas popular culture.

With its bouncy melody and playful story, the song suits school concerts, community events, and family gatherings. Its cheerful refrain captures the fun of wintertime while hinting at the fleeting wonder of the season — a reminder to savour simple joys and share them generously with others.
