Although it will be difficult for anything to replace Schitt's Creek's six seasons. In the comedy series, Milligan stars as Ted Mullens, the veterinarian in Schitt's Creek who serves as one of Alexis Rose's love interests.

Schitt's Creek won various awards over the course of its run, including nine Primetime Emmy Awards.

Throughout Schitt's Creek, Alexis and Ted have an on-and-off relationship. While it was always obvious that they were meant to end up together, the final season of Schitt's Creek ends with Alexis and Ted heading their separate ways (with the hope that they would one day find their way back to one another). Nevertheless, Ted was a beloved character in the sitcom, and Milligan somewhat carries on Ted's legacy in his holiday film Hot Frosty.

Hot Frosty Is Dustin Milligan's First Major Role After Schitt's Creek Ended In 2020

Milligan Stars As Jack In Hot Frosty

Dustin Milligan stars alongside the series finale of Schitt's Creek in 2020. Milligan plays Jack, a snowman who comes to life after Chabert's Kathy wraps a magical red scarf around his icy neck. Without giving away too much, Jack and Kathy grow close as he learns to be human, and she discovers how to open her heart up to love again.

Hot Frosty has been quite a success since its premiere on November 13, 2024. The Hot Frosty's all-star cast, which includes Chabert, Milligan, Craig Robinson, and Joe Lo Truglio, has certainly helped its popularity. Perhaps its accomplishments will convince Netflix to order a sequel, and Milligan can continue playing a character who is quite similar to Ted in Schitt's Creek.

Jack's Similarities To Ted Make Hot Frosty Feel Like A Schitt's Creek Season 7 Spinoff

Jack & Ted Have A Lot In Common

At first glance, Hot Frosty and Schitt's Creek don't seem to have much in common. However, they both take place in small towns with tight-knit communities, and Dustin Milligan's two characters are quite alike. Jack is depicted as innocent, naive, sweet, kind, etc. — essentially, all the qualities that embody Ted in Schitt's Creek. When comparing Hot Frosty to Schitt's Creek while speaking with CinemaBlend, Milligan said:

"But Schitt's Creek, there's a little bit of an overlap in of some of the lessons that we have and the themes that we explore here in this movie as well, where it's like you have sometimes to let go of your idea of yourself and shed that identity in order to discover who you really can be."

So, when watching Hot Frosty, it's almost as if one is viewing Ted's life (if he were a snowman) after leaving Schitt's Creek. Of course, Ted would be in the Galápagos, but the point still stands. Hot Frosty is the perfect movie to watch for Schitt's Creek fans who miss Ted dearly, four years after the sitcom ended.
