Nowhere but Netflix would even think about making a Christmas film about a woman who regains her passion for life by ogling a snowman

Hot Frosty is a film about a woman bonking a snowman. 
It doesn’t look good on paper, and it might not even look good on a screen, but it has somehow captured the public imagination like no Christmas film in living memory. 
Nobody expects it to be a masterpiece, but everyone seems to have entered into it with such a loosey-goosey “anything goes” spirit that it just seems irresistible. 
The entire purpose of Hot Frosty is to exceed your low expectations, and isn’t that what all Christmas movies do?

Hot Frosty for that is the film’s name – is the story of Cathy (Lacey Chabert), a woman who is starting to emerge from grief after the death of her husband. As per the trailer, one day she is walking home when she sees an incredibly buff snowman with a six-pack and meticulously modelled nipples. Taken by the majesty of this weirdly sexy snowman, she drapes her scarf across it and it comes to life. And now he isn’t just a sexy snowman, he’s a sexy naked human with limited intelligence. And Cathy is into it. 

The tagline to Hot Frosty isn’t “This Christmas, forget about your dead husband by having it off with some snow,” but it probably should be.

Do you see what I mean, though? 
Nowhere but Netflix would even think about making a Christmas film about a woman who regains her passion for life by ogling a snowman. The Christmas movie business is by and large in the toilet. Films like this, at the lower end of the budget, are all so identical that they’re no longer really fit for purpose.
