Unlike many, he is not necessarily associated with a [[{{Holiday Tropes}} holiday]]; although naturally he tends to be most active in Winter simply because that's where the action is. He can be depicted as playful and mischievous as a snow day; or as cruel as the killing ice.

JackFrost is a film duology about a serial killer who get mutated into a snowman. It is also a family film about a man who gets reincarnated in a snowman's body after a fatal traffic accident. That's right, there are two separate works out there with the same name, with all three films involved released within a five year period. And once you get past the fact that one of the main characters in both works spends the majority of the time as a snowman, the similarities come to a screeching halt.

Not to be confused with the {{Manhwa}} ''Manhwa/JackFrost''[[hottip:* :Yes, there's yet another work with this name out there. Isn't it sad?]], or the [[{{Morozko}} 1966 Russian film based on a folk tale]] (seen on ''MysteryScienceTheater3000''). And most ''definitely'' not to be confusd with the Rankin-Bass christmas special of the same name. Or the ''other'' Christmas special live-action movie about a man who turns into a snow man which ''also'' has the same name.

The section on the family movie currently needs some WikiMagic.
