The new film that has surpassed Hot Frosty is called The Merry Gentlemen, which stars Britt Robertson and Chad Michael Murray. It is a bit more scandalous than Hot Frosty given its subject matter. The official synopsis: “To save her parents' small-town performing venue, a former big-city dancer decides to stage an all-male, Christmas-themed revue.”

More specifically, the exterior scenes of the downtown area in Hot Frosty were filmed in Brockville, a city in Eastern Ontario in Canada. According to a local news report from the city’s HometownTV12, the ice sculpture competition set was constructed outside of the Brockville city courthouse.

Needless to say my eyebrow raised a bit when I saw that a movie called “Hot Frosty” was the #1 movie on Netflix this week. But it's good

The holiday romantic comedy 'Hot Frosty' has shot to the number one spot among Netflix movies. Some adore its "sheer ridiculousness."

Courtney Howard of Variety says Lacey Chabert has “traded fruitcake for beefcake” this holiday season, as Netflix acknowledges “its target audience’s yearning for a sprinkling of cheeky, wanton lust.” The critic says this movie is a delightful detour from Chabert’s typical fare:

Netflix's top 10 movies has been taken over by Christmas flicks, with the festive rom-com Meet Me Next Christmas falling behind the current no. 1 movie Hot Frosty, which has pulled in 26 million views worldwide in the week ending November 17.
