Hear me out
Frosty the Snowman is part of the Web if we assume the original song is the only canon Frosty the Snowman material.
Proofs:
He is an otherwise inanimate object that is only brought to life by an old silk hat. This suggests that Frosty himself is not alive, but is a sort of puppet controlled by the silk hat. The material of the hat is important too, as spiders make silk. Is it likely that the old silk hat is made of spider silk? No, seeing as the original song was released in 1950 and assuming the hat is at least twenty years old, and spider silk clothing was and still is extremely difficult to produce. But it is possible, as spider silk clothing has been around since the early 1700s, and the hat is stated to contain “magic” which could imply that it is more likely to be made of rare materials.
Assuming this hat is a Web aligned artifact, it is possible that it initially intended to possess one of the children, but instead decided on the snowman because of the greater influence a figure such as Frosty could exert, seeing as Frosty functioned as both a role model and a peer.
Frosty has a Pied Piper-like effect on the children he interacts with. He plays with them, letting them feel more comfortable around him, and has the children chase him around town. The stanza, “He led them down the streets of town / Right to the traffic cop / And he only paused a moment when / He heard him holler, “Stop!”” Implies that Frosty was leading these children across a street, one on which he did not have the right of way. He led these children into oncoming traffic, where, as the children are never mentioned again in the song, they most likely die or are severely injured.
The first two lines of the next stanza, “Oh, Frosty the Snowman / Had to hurry on his way” imply that Frosty had to flee town before he, or rather the silk hat that was using him as a host, was destroyed by the angry townspeople who just witnessed their children being killed brutally. Frosty’s parting words, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again someday!” both imply that people are crying, most likely due to seeing their children hit by oncoming traffic, and serve as an almost condescending warning about his return, most likely the following year.
The song itself is immensely popular. I was helping my dad move some stuff around campus yesterday and three out of the four times we turned on the car radio to the Christmas station it was playing Frosty the Snowman, a different cover/version each time. The pervasiveness of this song could certainly be connected the Web’s influence, and the song (as well as the movie) have given most people an overall positive view of Frosty, essentially removing from cultural memory the annual murders committed by the snowman, and brainwashing the public into believing the lie that Frosty the Snowman was a good being. The song states that he “was a jolly, happy soul” but not that he was good. One can take pleasure in horrendous crimes.
What interest would the Web have in killing several children each year from what is most likely a small or medium-sized town? Perhaps it is to feed on the fear the children’s parents would experience from seeing their children laughing and running straight into oncoming traffic as if in a trance. Perhaps it is the fear that they or their children will be next. Who knows.
I rest my case.

Very often (like at least once a week) I have dreams of possession/brainwashing/manipulation. Lots of different types, I've had ghosts, fantasy spiders, plants, hypnosis, eldritch beings, fungi, demons, and more. Usually it is me getting controlled. However, I am weird in the sense that I know I'm in a dream at all times, so I am in control of the "story". I'm in control of being possessed, and the rest of the "actors" in my dream, but I usually go along with the scenario presented to me because that's more entertaining.
All this to say I think I've been marked by the web because I've also wanted a spider since I was small.
I agree with your assessment. The puppeteers are puppets themselves to Mother.
