Originally, June Foray voiced Karen, the Teacher, and the other children. Karen and most of the childrens' voices were replaced with those of actual children before the original broadcast. The end credits were never changed. In late 2017, some sources started listing Suzanne Davidson as the actor who provided the new voices. The original voices can still be heard however on the original MGM soundtrack, re-released years later by Rhino.
The special begins with children going to school on Christmas Eve, which was common up until the mid-60s.
Jackie Vernon, who voices Frosty, was known for his drab stand-up comedy acts and x-rated jokes.
Jimmy Durante also recorded the song in 1950, but with slightly different lyrics.
Unlike other Rankin/Bass specials, this has a fairly minimal voice cast, consisting of only five total (seven after the kids' voices were redubbed). Also, this special does not feature any original songs, just excerpts of the titular song played throughout.
"[repeated line] Frosty: Happy birthday!"
"Professor Hinkle: [performing his mock magic trick] And so, I put the magic eggs into my hat. Abracadabra, to coin a phrase. [chuckles] Professor Hinkle: And voila, the eggs have turned into... [the eggs drop to the floor and crack] Professor Hinkle: Mess--y, mess--y, mess--y! [covers the mess]"
