Jack Frost Seen In Frosty's Winter Wonderland 1976
In Frosty's Winter Wonderland. he was envious of how the children loved playing with Frosty the Snowman, and he thought that he could do better than Frosty. When Crystal was with Frosty, Jack Frost sends out a gust of icy wind, and it blows Frosty's hat off, seemingly killing him. That was, until Crystal brought Frosty back to life with a kiss, infuriating and bewildering Jack Frost, causing him to throw Frosty's hat back to the snowman, which made him madder.
He shows up not long before the snow-couples ceremony to cause a massive blizzard in a final attempt to get back at Frosty, which causes Crystal to notice him, remarking him as an important figure to winter. Her and Frosty offer to make him the best man, which he immediately accepts as "he's always been the best man", and he accompanies the wedding. He even makes winter last longer for the two so they and the whole town can enjoy the snow, until a pastor talks some sense into him about the other seasons being equally important. And being that Jack likes the spring "even if he's never seen it", he and the snow-couple take the train back to the North Pole.
