Jack Frost does not spawn on his own and, uniquely for a boss, must be created by players. During event periods where he’s active, there will be a snowy patch in the Mountains marked by a light blue dot. If a player has a Snowman Body, they can consume it to place it in the center of the patch. Once the Body is placed, players can then add more parts to the snowman to complete the snowman.
Once the snowman has a body, a nose, eyes, and a hat, it will transform into Jack Frost, who will become highlighted with a quest marker and broadcast a message to the entire Realm:
“Brrrrr! You’ve given life to a soul that is neither jolly nor happy!”
Which attacks Jack Frost uses, how much damage he does, and how many phases he has are determined by the rarity of the items used to create him. Higher-tier materials will give Jack Frost more dangerous attacks, but will cause him to gain higher loot drop chances as a result. It is currently unknown if Phase 1 and 2 are determined by his build materials, but how many of phases 3-6 he uses are dependent on them, with him using anywhere from none to all of them depending on his build composition.
Jack Frost uses one of two attacks.
Taunt: “Let it snow!”
Jack Frost throws a rapid barrage of bombs around himself, throwing them at multiple distances and alternating between throwing them in X or plus-shaped bursts.
Taunt: “Your dreams of a White Oryxmas shall only be nightmares!”
Jack Frost fires wavy blue stars and teal missiles at the nearest player, while firing spreads of snowballs perpendicular to the initial attack.
Jack Frost uses one of two attacks.
Taunt: “All I want for Oryxmas is your grave!”
Jack Frost flees from players erratically, firing rapid 3-way shotguns of Weakening snowflakes.
Taunt: “Prepare to be jingle bell ROCKED!”
Jack Frost chases players with single white slashes, before briefly stopping in place and releasing 8-way streams of ice arrows.
Taunt: “Heroes, did you know…that you are about to perish!”
Jack Frost fires two oscillating streams of Paralyzing blue icicles, periodically lunging at players.
Taunt: “My two front teeth are about to sink into your skull!”
Jack Frost chases players while firing shotguns of small snowballs, and occasional 2-way bursts and rings of larger, slower snowballs.
Taunt: “It’s the most wonderful time of year for you to die!”
Jack Frost stops in place and fires a massive 4-way shot-machinegun of snowballs, alternating between in a cross shape or a plus shape.
Taunt: “Your death will come upon a midnight clear!”
Unknown.
Taunt: “THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST ORYXMAS!”
Jack Frost becomes stationary and starts firing a 4-armed spiral of blue orbs that inflict Unstable, alongside blue crescents fired around himthat Slow. He will periodically interrupt the spiral with 4-way shotguns of blue orbs.
Upon death, he will drop his loot and spawn the three pieces (eyes, hat, nose) that were used to create him, which can be attacked and killed for additional loot. The higher-level the materials used to make him, the higher the chances of getting Oryxmas Weapons and more Tokens from the pieces.
“Nooo! I’ll be back again someday!”
Note: Jack’s presents have the same drops as him, but also drop Oryxmas Tokens.

Note: In Oryxmas 2020, Jack’s scattered parts dropped different amounts of tokens depending on their rarity. The table of drops can be found here.

When he was first released in Rifts, the below information was featured in the Rifts Event Notes:
New snowmen enemies are present all over the realm! By defeating them in the mountains, you will have a chance to obtain a brand new item: a Snowman Body. Dungeon bosses will also be able to drop snowman hats, carrots, and coals instead of marks.
Using the snowman body item in the realm will make a body appear on the light blue dot on the map. Then by using one hat, one carrot, and one coal, the embodiment of ice will come to life: Jack Frost!
Jack Frost will have extra phases, change up his attacks, and deal extra damage based on the overall difficulty of where the hat, carrot, and coal have been found. Building a Jack Frost from Pirate Cave, Forbidden Jungle, and Spider Den parts will lead to an easier fight than one from Ocean Trench, Tomb of the Ancient, and Oryx’s Chamber parts.
Upon defeat, Jack Frost will throw the parts out, allowing you to destroy them and obtain the respective marks of the dungeons used to assemble him, as well as a chance for drops from their respective drop table.
