December 7, 1969 -
Another Rankin/Bass production, Frosty the Snowman, premiered on CBS-TV on this date.



Voice actress June Foray was cast for both Karen and the Teacher and had recorded vocals for both characters. However, only her recordings for the Teacher made it into the final special as another actress was called in to replace Foray's Karen, for reasons that even Foray herself to this day does not know.

Christmas, the horrors of frostbite:

The Snow Man (1940)




Scary Snowman




Frosty The Snowman (1953)




The Snowman's Dilemma (1960)




The Snowman (1982)
