Jack Frost est un personnage, allégorie de l'hiver, issu de la culture anglo-saxonne. Il serait à l'origine du givre, des nez et des pieds glacés par le temps, et donnerait sa couleur au feuillage des arbres en automne et sa forme comparable à des feuilles de fougère au givre croissant sur les vitres.Il est parfois considéré comme une variante de Old Man Winter .
Depuis le début du XX siècle, Jack Frost est apparu dans de multiples œuvres de fiction (littérature, cinéma et télévision, chansons, jeux vidéo) comme un personnage mieux développé, parfois malicieux et sinistre.
Jack Frost est souvent dépeint comme un petit elfe, rapide, espiègle encore innocent avec un caractère d'enfant, disant souvent « hi-ho ». Il peut aussi devenir dangereux et geler les gens sur place, s'ils le mettent en colère. Son physique peut avoir des aspects hivernaux : les cheveux blancs, ses yeux de la couleur bleue, de la glace sur ses vêtements.
On lui prête un grand nombre de pouvoirs, comme la production d'air glacial, la glace, les précipitations comme la neige ou le verglas. Le plus souvent on lui prête juste le pouvoir de dessiner des superbes sculptures en givre sur la terre, les plantes et les fenêtres.
Il est présent dès la série de jeux vidéo Megami Tensei, présenté comme un petit bonhomme de neige avec un bonnet bleu et est la mascotte de la société Atlus.
En 2012, il a été utilisé en tant que personnage principal dans le film Les Cinq Légendes (ou Le réveil des gardiens), film d'animation en 3D des studios DreamWorks Animation, réalisé par Peter Ramsey. Le film a été inspiré conjointement d'une œuvre romanesque : The Guardians of Childhood (2011-2012) où Jack n'apparaît qu'au bout du quatrième tome.

Jack Frost is awakened from the depths of a frozen pond with amnesia. Upon discovering no one can see or hear him however, he wanders off alone. Three hundred years later Jack, as the spirit of Winter, enjoys delivering snow days to school kids, but resents that they do not believe in him and still cannot see him. At the North Pole, the Man in the Moon warns Nicholas St. North (Santa Claus) that Pitch Black, the Boogeyman, is threatening the children of the world with his nightmares. He calls E. Aster Bunnymund (the Easter Bunny), the Sandman/Sandy, and Tooth, the Toothfairy, to arms. They are then told that Jack Frost has been selected to be a new Guardian. Jack is unimpressed by this position, as he feels wronged for not being believed in, but North convinces him to aid them in facing Pitch.

Four years after the second film, Scott Calvin/Santa Claus (Tim Allen), and his wife, Carol (Elizabeth Mitchell), are expecting their first child as Christmas Eve approaches. Carol is missing her family, so Scott invites his in-laws, Sylvia and Bud Newman (Ann-Margret and Alan Arkin), up to the North Pole, along with his former wife, Laura (Wendy Crewson), her husband, Neil (Judge Reinhold), and their daughter, Lucy (Liliana Mumy), to keep Mrs. Claus company. Meanwhile, he is summoned to a meeting of the Council of Legendary Figures consisting of Mother Nature (Aisha Tyler), Father Time (Peter Boyle), the Easter Bunny (Jay Thomas), Cupid (Kevin Pollak), the Tooth Fairy (Art LaFleur), and the Sandman (Michael Dorn). Jack Frost (Martin Short) also arrives and is in trouble. He is jealous that he has no holiday or special occasion in his honor, and has been promoting himself during the Christmas season. Mother Nature accuses him of attempting to upstage Santa, and suggests sanctions against him. When Santa says that he is dealing with how to get the in-laws to come without revealing that he is Santa, Jack Frost manages to negotiate a light sentence of community service at the North Pole, helping Santa and the elves put up various Canadian-themed paraphernalia, as Carol's parents believe Scott is a toymaker in Canada. However, Frost's ultimate goal is to trick Santa into renouncing his position, with unknowing help from Curtis who accidentally blurts out what the Escape Clause is and where it is. Thus, Jack Frost sneaks into Santa's hall of snow globes (which contain images of all the Santas throughout world history) and steals a special one containing Santa Claus (aka Scott Calvin) that will invoke the Escape Clause, in which Santa must hold the Globe and say "I wish I'd never been Santa at all" thus sending him back in time and undoing his career as Santa. When Lucy discovers this crime Jack Frost freezes her parents and locks her in a closet. Jack Frost causes trouble for the family that makes Scott think that he must resign to make things better.
