Question: Who did Santa bring back to life?
Answer: Frosty the Snowman
Class: Grandstaff
Note: In the 1969 animated Christmas tv special based on the song, Santa finds Karen crying over a melted Frosty the Snowman He tells her that Frosty can never melt away forever because he‘s made of Christmas snow and will return every winter. Then he puts the magic hat on Frosty and the snowman comes back to life.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
