Where to watch 'Frosty the Snowman' before Christmas: TV, streaming options in 2023
With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal, and just in time for Christmas, the classic "Frosty the Snowman" is again available to watch this holiday season.
There are a couple of options on where to watch the animated Christmas classic this year, including airing live on TV in December and for purchase on a few streaming services.
First airing on CBS in 1969 following "A Charlie Brown Christmas," the 25-minute "Frosty the Snowman" TV special based on the song of the same name has since aired annually for the network, a tradition that will continue in 2023.
Here's where you can watch "Frosty the Snowman" before Christmas.
Where to watch 'Frosty the Snowman'
"Frosty the Snowman" will air on CBS Dec. 16 at 9 p.m. ET, following 8 p.m.'s "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." "Frosty Returns," the 1993 animated special, will air right after, at 9:30 p.m. EST.
It will only air on CBS, and not on other streaming platforms live including Paramount+, YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV.
