Between Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole’s crooned staples and The Ronettes, The Beach Boys and The Jackson 5’s soul-tinged efforts, there was only ever going to be one logical artistic direction for Frosty The Snowman: lush and atmospheric with iceberg-sized instrumentals. Released with Winter Wonderland on the Cocteau Twins’ 1990 Snow EP, which will now set you back a fair few quid on eBay.

“The answer to both is the Cocteau’s rendition of Frosty The Snowman. So there!” (Thanks, lasermonkey)

“I'll second Lasermonkey's nomination of the Cocteau Twins’ Frosty The Snowman (and the Snow EP as a whole!). Liz Fraser and the boys lend their special Cocteau sparkle to a classic.” (Thanks, Estheroid)
