Frosty the snowman. Was it created by Santa?

In the original 1969 movie, how was Santa able to know about the magic property of the hat when he revived Frosty in the greenhouse and who could have made it?

Santa knows everything. Santa also gives children what they want.

Frosty's hat, is in reality an infinity Christmas gem that has taken on the form of a top hat! There are six Christmas infinity gems.
1. Frosty's hat, is the life gem, that grants life to organic or inorganic matter.
2. Rudolph 's nose, is the light gem, that floods light to all paths of darkness.
3. The Little Drummer Boy's drum, is the ultra sound beat gem, that signifies the coming of greatness.
4. Jack Frost, harness the power of the weather gem, that can control earth's cimate.
5. The two remaining gems, immortality/time gem are used by Santa to bring happiness to all good little children on Christmas Day.
The evil anti-Claus, known as Krampus along with his legion of burning elves, wait in anticipation for the day, when they will control all six Christmas stones.

The hat was made by Santa. It was a Christmas present to Hinkle when Hinkle was a kid, based on his Christmas wish for an actual magic hat to perform with. The hat only works for those that believe in magic though. After getting the hat, Hinkle would amaze others with his magic "tricks" that were actually magic. As Hinkle grew older, he gradually stopped believing in magic, both Santa and the hat, and he presumed he had always just being doing tricks with the hat. As Hinkle didn't believe in magic anymore though, his act went downhill, as he had never learned how to do the "tricks" all that well. When the hat gets away from him and to the kids, who believe in magic like Santa still, it could do actual magic again.

Santa recognized the hat, both because he never forgets a child nor a present, but also because, being magic himself, he can recognize other magic.

Hinkle, having seen the hat perform actual magic, believes in magic and Santa again, so is mollified at the end when Santa suggests that he'd give Hinkle more presents if he apologizes, possibly a new hat.

So, what I gather is this? Jay G was cast as Hinkle in a Christmas pageant production of Frosty, and he went full-Streep and created a full backstory for his character.

Actually, it's part of my spec script for a Frosty the Snowman reboot/prequel, "Frosty, Hinkle, and the Hat". I'm hoping they cast Gary Oldman as Hinkle, and a CGI John Candy as Frosty.

The main plot twist I hadn't mentioned yet: Frosty's been created before. Hinkle also made Frosty as a kid, but after he grew up, dismissed his memory of Frosty as an imaginary friend. Frosty says "happy birthday" every time he's recreated.

If there was one person that could have made me enjoy a live action Frosty it probably would have been John Candy.
