Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause has landed a role in upcoming Netflix film Hot Frosty.

Directed by Jerry Ciccoritti and written by Russell Hainline, the Christmas rom-com centres on a widow whose life changes after she brings a snowman to life (via Deadline).

"The film picks up with Cathy two years after losing her husband, as she magically brings a handsome snowman to life," reads the film's official synopsis.

"Through his naivety, the snowman helps Cathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays... and before he melts."

Hot Frosty is the newest addition to Netflix's 2024 holiday slate, which also includes festive rom-com Meet Me Next Christmas starring Christina Milian and Lindsay Lohan's upcoming film Our Little Secret.

As part of Lohan's ongoing partnership with the streamer, the rom-com will see the star and Ian Harding play resentful exes who are forced to spend Christmas together when they find out their current partners are siblings.

The film will also see Lohan reunite with her Mean Girls co-star Tim Meadows, who plays Principal Ron Duvall in both the original film and recently released musical adaptation.

Hot Frosty doesn't have a release date yet.
