Pluto has effectively no atmosphere so I think if you’re standing on its surface and your boots are well-insulated then you’re effectively in a vacuum thermos - you’ll actually overheat rather than freeze and taking your helmet off won’t make a difference.
(Of course the helmet is still important for breathing… And then later water from your body will gradually boil off into space and cool you that way until you’re freeze-dried, but that’s not really a concern for living astronauts.)
You may have been mislead…

I assume you’re quoting Ms Frizz as she lectures the boys frozen head…
