Rankin/Bass presented two different versions of the character; one from Frosty's Winter Wonderland (as a cartoon), and the other in his own self-titled special, Jack Frost.
In Frosty's Winter Wonderland, he was a mischievous sprite who was jealous of Frosty because he didn't get the attention he wanted like Frosty does. He tried to get rid of him, but it was until he had a change of heart and became the best man for the winter wedding. He was later seen again, this time in anamagic form, at the end of Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July blowing a cold breeze on Frosty, Crystal, Chilly and Milly to revive them.
In Jack Frost, he is an invisible sprite that nobody can see or hear. One girl named Elisa thanked Jack Frost for saving her and wishes to see him in person. When he asked Father Winter to become human, Father Winter told him that Jack will become human permanently if he acquires the following: a house, horse, bags of gold, and a wife. He went under the name of Jack Snip the tailor. After stopping the evil Kasack king, Kubla Kraus, he got a castle, a robotic horse, and bags of gold. Unfortunately for Jack, he never got to have a wife realizing that Elisa is in love with the knight in golden armor. So by springtime, Jack turns back into an invisible winter sprite and flew back to the Kingdom of the Winter Clouds.
The winter series theme this year involves characters from the classic Rankin/Bass Stop-Motion animation TV Specials that first aired in the 60's, 70's, and early 80's.
