Hot Frosty 3 aka Hot Nutcracker

Hot Frosty just demands a threequel. Please enjoy my pitch for Hot Nutcracker (because Hot Nut and Hot Cracker do not work).

Title:

  • Hot Nutcracker

Tagline:

  • Only he could crack her hard shell

Key characters with some ideas for casting if not already cast:

  • Dr. Dottie Stahlbaum (I added the last name of Stahlbaum since it's Clara's last name in The Nutcracker)
    • Already cast as Katy Mixon Greer 
  • Peter Nutcracker (I literally Googled "hot male ballet dancers")
    • Chun Wai Chan
    • Kimin Kim
    • Roberto Bolle
  • Rowan Gingerbreadman
  • Nicole Singh (I added the last name of Singh based on the actress being Guyanese-Canadian)
    • Already cast as Sarah DeSouza-Coelho
  • Kathy Barrett
    • Already cast as Lacey Chabert
  • Jack Snowman
    • Already cast as Dustin Milligan
  • Sheriff Nathaniel Hunter
    • Already cast as Craig Robinson
  • Deputy Sheriff Ed Schatz
    • Already cast as Joe Lo Truglio

Synopsis:

  • The local school is putting on a Christmas production of The Nutcracker, but after the kids playing Fritz and Clara get too rough in the fight over the nutcracker both the nutcracker prop and the kids need fixing up. The kids are taken to Dr. Dottie Stahlbaum who fixes them up and gives them some advice on how to get along. Dottie even offers to find them a new nutcracker if the two kids agree to make amends. The kids readily agree.
  • Dottie goes to the thrift store and explains the predicament. The store owners exchange a knowing glance and bring out a nutcracker that just came in. Dottie comments on how handsome this particular nutcracker seems. Dottie takes him to the school, but finding no one to pass him off to, she puts him on the stage and snaps a picture to send to Jack (who is helping stage the play) to show where she left him.
  • Overnight, the nutcracker springs to life in full soldier uniform. However, he is confused as to why he's in the school so he runs out, in search of the woman he saw take his picture, hoping she has some answers for her.
  • The nutcracker, after some running around and causing a stir, finds Dottie outside her clinic. She examines him and asks if he hit his head. He asserts that no, he is in fact the nutcracker that came to life. Dottie compares the picture and finds some remarkable similarities, but asserts that he has better teeth than the nutcracker.
  • Somewhat doubtful of his assertion, she invites him to help out with the production of The Nutcracker if he really is one he should be able to help out. Dottie assumes this will either help ease him out of his delusion or prove that he's really the nutcracker (which has, after all, gone missing).
  • Sheriff Hunter catches wind that the school's nutcracker has been stolen and finds footage of an odd man running out of the school at night. He and Deputy Schatz are on the case doggedly.
  • Over the course of helping with the school production, Dottie and the nutcracker, whom Dottie calls Peter after Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovs, grow closer leading almost to a kiss. Peter asks if Dottie is sure and she explains of course, he's hot. Peter pulls back a bit and asks if that's all it is to her. Guarded, Dottie says yes and Peter leaves.
  • Disappointed and in her head, Dottie gives Kathy one of her final maternity examines and says she's due any day and it might even be a Christmas baby. Kathy asks Dottie what's going on and Dottie opens up that she pushes men away because her last ex cheated on her and after that she resolved to date like a man--sex first. Kathy tells her that she should open her heart back up if Dottie thinks Peter is worth it. Dottie says he is.
  • While Peter wanders around dejectedly, Hunter and Schatz find him and have him arrested for stealing the nutcracker and breaking into the school (although they can only find footage of him leaving).
  • Dottie finds Peter being arrested by Hunter and Schatz and explains that he didn't break in, he is a nutcracker that came to life. Hunter says he's done with this, can't this town just have normal crimes and problems? On Dottie's word and the picture proof, Hunter lets Peter go and Dottie comments that Hunter is getting soft.
  • Dottie explains that she has been closed off to men, but that she doesn't want to be. The two kiss and the magic of their kiss turns Peter into a real man. 
  • Just then, Jack runs up and says Kathy is in labor. A healthy baby girl is born and they name her Holly Noel Snowman.
  • The whole town of Hope Springs rejoices.

Additional elements to work in:
  • Thrift shop store owner wearing an eye patch and maybe a cape (à la Drosselmeyer)
  • Kathy appears throughout pregnant

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
