💫 “When the world loses its winter magic… only one father can bring it back.”
Twenty-five years after Jack Frost (Michael Keaton) returned to help his son Charlie one final time, life in the Snowfield Mountains has moved on. Charlie (Joseph Cross) is now a music teacher with a daughter of his own, Ellie (Kiernan Shipka), a brilliant but introverted teen who believes in wonder even when no one else does.
But something strange is happening across the world—
❄️ Snowstorms arrive without warning.
❄️ Rivers freeze overnight.
❄️ And a mysterious blue light begins appearing in the sky each evening.
Ellie feels it first:
Winter is calling.
When she discovers Jack’s old harmonica hidden inside a music box, she plays a familiar tune—one that echoes through the mountains. Moments later, a swirl of frosty wind forms into a shape she never thought she’d see:
Jack Frost is back.
But this time, he’s not here just for a visit.
A powerful force known as The Melt—a warm, destructive magic—has awakened, threatening to wipe out winter forever. And without winter, the balance of the seasons will collapse. Jack needs Ellie’s help to restore the world’s cold magic… before Christmas Eve, when The Melt becomes unstoppable.
Charlie, terrified of losing Ellie the way he once lost his father, refuses to believe Jack is real. But as the storms worsen and the mountains crack under unnatural heat, he realizes he must confront the past he buried—especially the grief he never allowed himself to heal.
Ellie teams up with Liam (KJ Apa), a charming young wildlife ranger, to search for the source of The Melt. Together with Jack, they journey across frozen lakes, magical forests, and ancient winter caves guarded by legendary spirits.
Along the way, Jack teaches Ellie what he once taught Charlie:
“Magic begins the moment you believe you’re worthy of it.”
But as The Melt grows stronger, Jack starts to fade—his icy form melting away each time he uses his powers. To save him, Ellie must make an impossible choice between keeping winter alive… or letting Jack return to the spirit world once more.
Everything builds to a breathtaking Christmas Eve showdown atop the Crown Glacier, glowing with blue aurora. With love, courage, and one final song from Jack’s harmonica, Ellie and Charlie fight to restore winter and give Jack the goodbye he deserved all those years ago.
Snow falls. Light returns.
And for a moment—
the Frost family is together under the stars.
A heartwarming, magical, tear-jerking holiday adventure, JACK FROST 2: THE WINTER’S RETURN celebrates family, music, second chances, and the timeless magic of Christmas.
