Okay, so in Frosty The Snowman (1969) the answer is inconclusive -- the hat is either always on his head or out of his possession entirely.

But in Frosty's Winter Wonderland (1976), the kids make him a snow-wife and she comes alive through 'the power of love' when he hands her a bouquet of flowers he made out of snow. A short while later, he gets attacked and his hat gets blown off, but instead of getting the hat back his snow-wife makes a flower for him, sticks it in his buttonhole, and brings him back to life with 'the power of love' too. So, yeah: two sentient snowpeople, both hatless.

spoiler


(At least briefly: he almost immediately gets the hat back anyway.)

Also: they ask the parson to officiate their wedding. He's too racist against snow-people to be willing to do it himself, but, inexplicably, he's happy to help make a snow-parson to officiate instead. They bring that one to life by giving him a Bible. So at that point the whole thing's off the rails and who knows what the Hell the rules are. Frankly, I'm not sure that sequel should count.
