Sven, as a baby reindeer, is the first character alongside his best friend Kristoff to appear in the movie, and is introduced during "Frozen Heart". Sven helps Kristoff as he's trying to mimic the harvest ice like grown-up icemen do. Later that night, Sven is pulling him through the woods when the two horses belonging to the royal family of Arendelle ride past him at speed while transporting Anna to the trolls. Kristoff becomes intrigued as one of them is leaving behind a trail of ice (as that horse is carrying a distraught Elsa). From a distance, Kristoff watches as Pabbie, king of the trolls, heal Anna's head. At the same time, one of the female trolls, Bulda adapts Kristoff as her own child.

13 years later, Kristoff grows to be an ice harvester who lives in the mountains near Arendelle. He is briefly seen in Arendelle selling ice while the camera tracks through Arendelle prior to Elsa's coronation. Kristoff is not seen again until Anna shows up at Wandering Oaken's Trading Post & Sauna on her search for Elsa. Kristoff arrives moments after Anna shows up, covered in snow, seeking to purchase carrots for Sven and climbing rope. From him, Anna knows that the blizzard in Arendelle comes from the North Mountain. Anna assumes that is where Elsa is hiding. However, he is thrown out of the store for calling Oaken a crook. Anna buys all of Kristoff's items and urges him to take her on a trip up the North Mountain. Kristoff is reluctant to help her at first but eventually gives in.

As Anna and Kristoff head for the North Mountain, Kristoff is incredulous learning about her whirlwind engagement to Hans. The conversation is cut short when their sled is attacked by hungry wolves. Although Anna, Kristoff and Sven escape by jumping over a chasm, the sled falls to the bottom of the ravine and explodes (much to Kristoff's dismay, as he just paid it off). The next day, they meet Olaf, an anthropomorphic snowman unknowingly created by Elsa, who leads them the rest of the way to Elsa's ice castle. However, Sven is left outside until the gang is on the run from Marshmallow.

On the way back into the mountains, Sven attempts to push him back to Arendelle, but he refuses, thinking it is selfish to fulfil his love instead of letting Anna be saved by Hans. However, a giant snowstorm appears over Arendelle, prompting him to return.
