Jack asks Father Winter if he can become human in order to be with her.

He runs a tailor shop in the town of January Junction with two friends who also turned human, Snip the snowflake maker and Holly the snow gypsy.

Snip and Holly were sent by Father Winter to ensure Jack does not get into trouble.

Elisa is charmed by Jack Snip, but she harbors romantic dreams of Sir Ravenal Rightfellow, a knight in golden armor.

Kraus also possesses all the brick, gold, and timber that January Junction used to have.

After Elisa is rescued by Sir Ravenal, Kraus vows to destroy January Junction by sending one-thousand Keh-Nights in an attempt to recapture his bride and throws Jack, Snip, and Holly in the dungeon.

As the sky is overcast with no sun to cast shadows, Jack Frost uses his magic shadow to scare Pete back into hibernation, and continues whipping up the storm.

Afterward, Jack causes Kraus to fall out of his castle and Father Winter literally blows him far away from Miserable Mountain, leaving Jack to claim the gold for himself; tames Klangstomper, making him his horse; and the castle becomes his house.

Jack becomes a spirit again for good, and blows ice onto Elisas wedding bouquet, turning it white.

When asked about the change, she sheds a tear saying, An old friend just kissed the bride.

Snip calls out to Jack that winter wouldnt be the same without him.

The special did not, as occasionally stated, lapse into the public domain; the Copyright Act of 1976 had taken effect by the time the special was published, which granted RankinBass and its successors automatic copyrights of 75 years, and the program had a valid copyright notice to begin with.

The makers of Rudolph also created some of the most off-the-wall Christmas specials ever.
