Jack Frost

Who:  Amber
What:  Jack Frost
Where:  @ home off cable
Why:  I'm getting in the Christmas spirit!

Jack Frost (yes, that's his real name)(Michael Keaton) is a musician, and a family man.  The problem is, sometimes his music takes over, and he doesn't show up at his kid's events.  This makes the kid mad, especially when he promises to come his hockey games.

Unfortunately, on Christmas Eve, Jack gets in a car accident and dies.

Fast forward to the following Christmas Eve.  Mrs. Frost (Kelly - what's her name - John Travolta's wife) and the boy are doing ok.  But they miss their father terribly, and it's almost Christmas.

The kid makes a snowman, and he comes to life - as Jack!  Once the kid gets over his shock that his dad has come back to "life", they have some wild adventures together.  They go snowboarding, they practice some hockey moves, and they try to hide that fact that this snowman is 'alive'.

Unfortunately, this year, a heat wave is coming for Christmas.  All the snow will be melted really soon.  So the son and the snowman hop on a truck to take dad up to the mountains, where the snow never melts!  This plan can't fail ... can it?!?

Well, trust me, it's a family Christmas movie, so it has a happy ending.
