The Secret Aunts of Frozen!
Written By Savvy Auntie Staff Writers

Any aunt or godmother who spends time with small nieces and nephews can probably sing the lyrics to “Let it Go” from the smash Disney film Frozen. And you probably also know the difference between sisters Elsa and Anna, thanks to nieces and nephews who may have made you sit through the movie once, twice, or thirty-something times.
But did you know that Elsa and Anna have two secret aunts?
ABC's “Once Upon a Time” drama follows residents of a small town, including characters from various fairytales. This season, Once Upon a Time explores Frozen, with Princesses Elsa and Anna. And it isn't long into the season that we learn that they have secret aunts.
The Snow Queen turns out to be Elsa and Anna’s aunt Ingrid, which explains where Elsa got her ice powers. She is their mother’s sister – but they also come to realize there’s another sister, named Helga. The two lost sisters of Gerta's, their late mother, were wiped from everyone’s memory when she concocted a forgetting potion because she was angry at her sisters.
And Aunt Helga? The mystery is unfolding. We hope she's a warm and loving Savvy Auntie. The Snow Queen is a little icy as aunts go. So far, that is.
Tune into ABC Once Upon a Time for more on Elsa, Anna, and their two aunts.
