A snowman who went missing was found slumped on a park bench before turning up in a pub and has now made it home thanks to an appeal in The Argus.

It is feared Frosty the Snowman got in with the "wrong crowd" and left his home at the Ju-Ju vintage shop in Brighton’s North Laine to go on a pre-Christmas "bender".

Ju-Ju owner Soly Daneshmand made an appeal in The Argus to find Frosty earlier this week and it appears Frosty had gone for three nights of festive shenanigans.

He was seen in Preston Park looking the worse for wear and had to be removed from the Crown and Anchor after a good old knees-up.

Frosty appears to have been out on such an adventure that his nose has fallen off.

Izzy Churchward and a friend found the disgraced snowman in Preston Park, saying Frosty “definitely looked a bit drunk, as if he’d had a long night out in town”.

When they first came across the snowman, Izzy said: “It looked like a big snowball, at first it was facing the other way where the head wasn’t actually attached to it either.”

The 30-year-old said it was “hilarious” once they put it back together, and “quickly made the decision to take it back” with them to the Crown and Anchor Pub near Preston Park, where they work.

The snowman was made at home on top of the piano, where they played a few songs for everyone in the pub with their newfound frosty friend.

Among the tunes rumoured to be blared out were Let it Snow, Frosty the Snowman and Ice, Ice Baby.

The proprietor of Ju-Ju in Gloucester Road, and rightful owner of Frosty, has said that it was thanks to an appeal by The Argus that the beloved festive decoration has arrived home.

She said: “Frosty’s been found!

“I just cannot believe it, I can’t wait to transfer him back to his original home.”

“People have been so, so kind. They’ve shown the festive spirit, and they’ve done the right thing. For me, I am ecstatic.”
