* Karen's parents must have been very worried about her when she didn't come home from school. Even if one of the other kids told them where she went, learning that she hopped onto a train headed toward the North Pole would probably have been no consolation. She naïvely thinks she can take Frosty to the Pole and be home in time for supper, but it's probably much later than that when she finally does get home, and who knows how long it would have taken her to get home if Santa hadn't given her a lift?

** This also explains why one of the "stops" he lists is the Aurora Borealis, which isn’t even on Earth.

* Hinkle is after the hat because he discovered its magic. But if you think about it, his plan to use the hat would never have worked, even if he had gotten it back. The whole reason he threw it away to begin with is that he couldn’t get it to work; had he recovered it, odds are, the magic would have continued to refuse to work for him.

* The ticket booth operator lists a bunch of locations that would be counterintuitive to travel to (Saskatchewan is in central Canada, Hudson Bay eastern Canada, Nome is in FAR western Alaska, a whole trip across the continent westward, the Klondike is in the Yukon, a southwest backtrack) until you realize he was humoring the kids and trying to say that there's no way to travel by train to the north pole, which is a bunch of ice floating in the Arctic ocean. There isn't even a land bridge between Canada's Ellesmere Island and Greenland. Had the kids had the $3000 for the ticket, he would have had to admit he was making stuff up or make up a story about train service not being in for one of the lengths of the journey.

* Why do Frosty, Crystal, and all other snowpeople say "Happy birthday!" when they come to life? They're saying it to themselves, because they've just been "born."

* Many remember the scene where Professor Hinkle is told by Santa that he has to write an apology "a hundred zillion times" to receive any goods, but the dialogue originally began as a threat that if he touches the hat he'll never receive another Christmas present again. Hinkle then names examples of things he would want. If there was continuity to the discussion, after he said that he had to make a living too, Santa would have said something like "Well you'd better not touch that hat, then".
** Santa specifically says that if Hinkle writes the apology, he'll find something in his stocking ''tomorrow morning''. So maybe the apology was just for if he wanted presents that specific year. He certainly had done enough to make it onto the naughty list.
* In Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, Frosty and Crystal have children! Um...how do snow people procreate? Did they make them and bring them to life? Magic? Um...
** In Frosty's Winter Wonderland, Crystal is built by the children, but the thing that ends up actually bringing Crystal to life is a gesture of love from Frosty. With that in mind, they probably did something similar when making the kids. Build them, then bring them to life with a gesture of love.
* Why does Frosty always say "Happy Birthday" when he gains consciousness? Whose birthday does he think it is? He can't be referring to himself, you don't say "happy birthday" when it's your own birthday!

** The order to write the apology could have been a test to see how repentant Professor Hinkle was, or how seriously he took Santa's words. Even if he didn't write that many, if Santa looked in and saw him doing the job, it would mean Hinkle took what he said to heart.
** Besides, real life conversations don't always have perfect continuity.



** [[TheTalk When a Snow man and a Snow Woman fall in love they....]]
** That seems likely, as that's how Crystal and the snow parson who married them were created.
** As [[https://collinwatchesmovies.wordpress.com/2016/12/22/rudolph-and-frostys-christmas-in-july/ this review says]], "Thumpity thump thump, thumpity thump don't ask how Frosty mates."



** He thinks it's someone else's birthday (for some reason)....
** Well, it's Christmas and he's made out of Christmas snow. It's not hard to figure out [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} who]] he'd want to wish a happy birthday...
* How is it Crystal immediately knows Frosty's name when she first comes to life?
** A teeny bit of FridgeHorror, but Crystal's first few lines imply that [[AndIMustScream she was aware of what was going on around her before she was even brought to life.]]

** It is possible that Karen had follow Santa's technique on how to get to her house carefully which is to walk carefully and go into the chimney.

* The narrator mentions that Santa can speak rabbit. Keep in mind that WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman takes place in the same universe as other Creator/{{Rankin Bass|Productions}} specials like SantaClausIsComingToTown and WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer. In the former, Santa had forest animal mentors growing up. That's how he knows how to speak rabbit.
