On December 7th, 1969, a new Christmas character would be born: "Frosty the Snowman."

The narrating voice was by comedian and actor, Jimmy Durante, who was a famous American entertainer from the 1920s to the '70s. "Professor Hinkle the Magician" was voiced by Billy De Wolfe, who was also an active actor up until his death in 1974. The film was ranked number 4 on TV Guide's 10 Best Family Holiday Specials list back in 2004, but we still consider this film to be one of the greats and can't wait to watch it again this holiday season!
