Jack Frost/Elsa, also known as Jelsa, is the het crossover pairing between Jack Frost from the Dreamworks film Rise of the Guardians, and Queen Elsa from the Disney film franchise Frozen.
The ship became popular in late 2013 after the release of the first Frozen film, with fans of both properties noting the similarities between the two characters and often citing these parallels as factors for the ship's appeal. Because there are no canon interactions between the two characters, fans of the ship created fanworks to show them together and to establish a common baseline for fanon.
There is sometimes a rivalry or animosity between fans of many of Elsa's ships, including Jelsa, especially if said fans headcanon her as a lesbian. Though multishippers do exist, shippers tend to pick one over the others.
