Jump Jump and the Ice Queen is a 1947 Old Time Radio show created by the husband-wife team of Mary McConnell and Harry Hickox. The 24-part Christmas adventure features Tim, an orphan who embarks on a journey to the North Pole to ask if Santa will remember his friends at the orphanage. On his quest, Tim meets Jump Jump and a cast of colorful characters that help him save Santa's reindeer from the evil Ice Queen and ultimately save Christmas.

The show was written and performed by McConnell and Hickox, with Johnny McGovern as Tim and a unique, prerecorded voice for Jump Jump. Featuring Bob Mitchell on the Hammond Organ, the show delivers a warm and intimate production. Although Jump Jump and the Ice Queen is often compared to other Christmas serials like The Cinnamon Bear, it stands out for its compelling narrative and memorable characters.

Aiming to excite children about the holiday season, the show was syndicated, allowing local stations to insert sponsor messages. Entrepreneur Samson R. Diamond further capitalized on the series with merchandising tie-ins, including hand-made dolls by the Mattel Toy Company, making it an enduring holiday classic.
