| 1 | * ActingForTwo: For the TV special, Creator/JuneForay plays the schoolteacher, Karen (originally), as well as her friends. Meanwhile, Creator/PaulFrees plays the traffic cop, the ticket man at the station, and Santa Claus. |
| 2 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The original version where Karen bore the voice of June Foray. Australian voice actor and historian Keith Scott claims to own an old record containing Foray's original dialogue, though it's unknown if he still has it. Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FThhQQq_C8I this video]] notes the differences between a VHS tape and a Blu-ray - the uploader didn't know it at the time, but this scene is in fact taken from the Foray version, which was apparently ''remastered by accident''. Finally averted in December 2016, when a reconstruction of the original cut was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivi5j2gvhZk uploaded to YouTube]], using Rhino's audio CD as a source. |
| 3 | * TheOtherDarrin: Karen was voiced by June Foray in the original airing; later and most current versions have another, uncredited actress. Due to the credits still crediting June Foray as doing Karen's voice, her replacement went unidentified, until Mark Evanier's DVDCommentary for the 2018 Deluxe Edition DVD and Blu-ray referred to the girl as Suzanne Davidson. Interestingly enough, certain bits of Foray's performance are left in the redub besides her singing: The first sneeze in the boxcar, another sneeze while in the woods, Karen crying over the Frosty puddle, and the little yelp she gives out when running into Frosty's arms while on her rooftop. |
| 4 | * PlayingAgainstType: Jackie Vernon is best remembered today for doing the voice of Frosty, but at the time he was famous as a stand-up comedian. And his comedy style was, for the time, edgy and unconventional. Imagine a combination of Creator/StevenWright (deadpan NonSequitur one-liners), Creator/GeorgeCarlin (oddball observations, occasional raunch) and Creator/RodneyDangerfield (hefty build, schlubby persona) and you have a rough idea of Vernon's act. Thus, starring as a jolly snowman in a family-oriented animated show definitely qualifies. |
| 5 | * RealSongThemeTune: The title song was written by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins and first recorded in 1950, 19 years before the special's premiere. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: It was reported in 2020 that a live-action reboot of ''Frosty'' was in the works, starring Creator/JasonMomoa in the role. However, Momoa denied that it was happening, claiming it was a distraction from Creator/WarnerBros executives in the face of the renewed attention the announcement of ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' brought to the TroubledProduction of 2017's ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' and the subsequent investigation into allegations of misconduct on the set of the latter film's reshoots. |
