Biography

Even though he's a member of the Council of Legendary Figures, Jack Frost was extremely jealous of the current Santa Claus (Scott Calvin) because of his popularity with little children. He even desired his own holidays called "Frostmas" (even he also obnoxiously conducted ridiculous ideas of his own other holidays, "Frostgiving", the "Frost of July", and "Frosthog Day".).

The Council have taken disciplinary action against Frost and charged him with 273 counts of crime against the Legendary Figures' ethical code of conduct including an attempted upstaging of Santa Claus, freezing of a volcano in Hawaii and snowing in the Amazon, and frosting all of Mexico, which sends all of the geese north for the winter (with 270 cut-out figures of himself wearing his Frostmas sash found in every shopping mall all over the Northwest as evidence).

And so, after causing trouble in the North Pole, he finally stole Scott's magic snow globe, tricked him to activate the classified Escape Clause by saying, "I wish I have never been Santa at all", and went 12 years back in time to the year 1994, where Scott accidentally killed the original Kris Kringle. Frost caused the latter's fall and put on the coat, took over the North Pole and turned it into a Frost-themed amusement park named "North Pole Resort".

For the next decade, he enjoys his time as Santa and acted as a tyrant towards the elves. After Scott confronts him at the North Pole, he successfully tricks Frost by using a recording of Frost wishing he was never Santa. This sends them back to the past, where Scott holds Frost down while watching as his past self becomes Santa, therby undoing the wrongful changes and returned the North Pole back to normal. Jack Frost, who was quickly arrested by the North Pole's Elfficers for freezing both Dr. Neil Miller and Charlie Calvin's mother, Laura. He was later turned good when Scott Calvin's (honorary) niece, Lucy, transformed him with a warm hug, unfroze her parents, and decided that he liked his new look. And then, he returned to the real world to start a new and happier regular life.
