"Frosty" was written by Steve Edward Nelson and Walter "Jack" Rollins. The duo also wrote the song "Peter Cottontail," which is a combination of two characters, Peter Rabbit and Cottontail from Beatrix Potter's children's story Peter Rabbit.

The original recording of "Frosty The Snowman" by Gene Autry was his seasonal follow-up to his successful recording of "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" in 1949. This time he peaked at #7 in December 1950.

This is considered to be a Christmas song despite not mentioning Christmas at all. The song tells of a story of a snowman who comes alive with the help of a magic hat.
