001 - The Spirit of Christmas [with Frosty]

Original Airdate: 1-May-1992
Brief Plot: The kids put a magic hat on a snowman and he comes to life and does battle with baby Jesus.
Plot: Four children, all but one of whom go unnamed, build a snowman which comes to life and threatens their town. Kenny, who resembles Cartman, is immediately killed by the monster. When the children go to Santa for help, he is revealed to be the monster in disguise, and slaughters another of the kids. The two survivors approach the baby Jesus, who takes on the evil snowman and wins, saving Christmas.

Morals:

• Don't put the hat on Frosty
• Christmas is all about presents

Kenny:

• Killed by Frosty (Kenny looks like Cartman)
• A second kid (Cartman?) is killed by Frosty pretending to be Santa (he looks like Kenny)

Quote: "Oh my God! Frosty killed Kenny!" -Kyle?

Written by: Trey Parker and Matt Stone

References:

• A brief clip of this can be seen in the South Park theme. You can see Frosty throw Kenny (who looks like Cartman).

Fun Fact:

• This is the original "The Spirit of Christmas" (aka "Jesus vs Frosty"). The animation is very crude, the characters look different, and the video quality is extremely poor.

Oops:

• Kenny looks like Cartman.
• One unnamed kid (possibly Cartman) looks like Kenny.
• A third kid, possibly Kyle, has a yellow hat similar to Stan's.
