Production Code: 1995

The boys build a snowman, and when one (mostly resembling Kyle, but is unnamed) tries to put a top hat on it, another (also unnamed, but resembling Stan) warns not to. The hat is put on anyway, and the snowman immediately comes to life, but is evil, with a menacing and sinister look on his face. Tentacles emerge from "Frosty", and he grabs one kid (resembling Cartman) and throws him into the snow, killing him. "Kyle" shouts "Oh my God, Frosty killed Kenny!" Apparently, his name is Kenny, however there is another boy that resembles Kenny, except he occasionally speaks intelligibly. The surviving boys go to Santa for help, but he turns out to be Frosty in disguise and kills the boy resembling Kenny. The other two boys come upon a nativity scene, and beseech the baby Jesus for help in killing Frosty. A tiny Jesus emerges, with a baby's body and a large, bearded head, and takes after Frosty. The diminutive savior throws his halo at Frosty's hat like a boomerang, knocking it off and making the snowman once more inanimate.
