I never got one my mum thought they were too messy so I wanted one for years.
Today there was a gift from Santa with a tag saying 'sorry it took so long hope you still wanted one' told my husband in passing in the past and he remembered. So I am now the proud owner of a Mr frosty hurrah.
Just wanted to share as Im still chuffed :)

That's lovely! He's a keeper!

PenguinLove1 · 25/12/2021 21:04

Omg thats amazing! I also always wanted one and never got it. Have you had a go today?

UserBot · 25/12/2021 21:05

Ah that's so nice! I know how you feel. I asked for a soda stream one year and didn't get one.

PPCD · 25/12/2021 21:05

Enjoy it!

Keepitonthedownlow · 25/12/2021 21:05

Is it any good, lol

ISaidDontLickTheBin · 25/12/2021 21:05

Amazing! 30 years and counting waiting for my Mr Frosty...

PodcastFunFair · 25/12/2021 21:06

Must say it must be over 4 years ago this was mentioned so Im shocked he remembered 😂

How lovely!
Just a word of warning - I really wanted one of these and eventually got one.
The turning takes ages to produce almost no ice shavings! It's hard work! So be prepared Xmas Grin

JustBkind · 25/12/2021 21:09

Omg this was me and my hubby 3 years ago!! He’d always wanted one as a child and never got one. It’s all he ever went on about at Xmas time! Needless to say, I won’t tell you his thoughts once he tried it out… 🤣🤣🤣

MichelleScarn · 25/12/2021 21:09

Wow! Jealous!! Now you can make Mr Frosty margaritas!! 🍹🍹🍹

SukiPook · 25/12/2021 21:10

Ha ha ha! Every year I asked for it. Couldn't understand why Santa never brought it. You'll have to use it and let us know were our mums right to veto it every year, or is it great, like we imagined at the time?

FatFilledTrottyPuss · 25/12/2021 21:10

I think I might be the only person who actually did get a Mr Frosty for Christmas when I was a kid. Let me tell you op, I was not disappointed!
Have fun tomorrow Grin ⛄️

QueenOfCatan · 25/12/2021 21:13

So. Jealous.

Toddlerteaplease · 25/12/2021 21:16

I sat on my dads shoulders shouting Tea pot house, at Santa who was climbing up Lewis's tower. ( everyone from Leicester will remember this)
They have it back to me a few years ago. Can't believe they kept it!

NOELnoelNOELnoel · 25/12/2021 21:16

I had a Mr Frosty and they are a bit shit.

Can your DH get me the my little pony castle I always wanted and didn't get? My DB got castle greyskull and I will be bitter forever. Grin

gamerchick · 25/12/2021 21:17

I wanted one as a kid and got one as an adult.

The time has passed. Be prepared. Have fun though. Grin

Valaris · 25/12/2021 21:18

Omg! I was never allowed one because me mam wasn't gonna spend £20 on ice. Anyway I finally got one after nagging my husband for years. It's fucking crap. It's so hard shaving the god damn ice and you don't get the fun, 90's syrup with it with all the tasty additives. You have to use shitty, normal squash or cordial (which is just posh squash init)

I used it once and then gave it away for free on FB Marketplace Grin to be fair. It did heal my Mr Frosty Xmas/birthday wish.

I swear, Mr Frosty is generational trauma Xmas Grin

TheVolturi · 25/12/2021 21:20

That's so sweet! But Mr Frosty will make you want to smash his smug little face in, believe me 🤣

PodcastFunFair · 25/12/2021 21:22

How spooky I'm from Leicester @Toddlerteaplease

My DH did similar...I wanted a my little pony grooming parlour.I mentioned it in passing awhile ago. It was under the tree this morning.

PodcastFunFair · 25/12/2021 21:22
