[Music]
Houses stuck with lights glowing bright on frosty nights, with a wreath on every door.
Drifting through the air is the laughter that we share with our dearest friends once more.
That's what I love about Christmas.
Hard to believe that it's almost here.
Snowflakes in a swirl, every boy and every girl bundled up in red and green.
Tinsel on the tree, every year we all agree it's the grandest one we've seen.
And that's why it's hard to believe that it's almost here.
That's what I love about Christmas.
[Music]
[Music]
The happiest place is the warmest embraces, the feeling of joy inside.
That's what I love about Christmas.
Can you believe that it's almost here?
That's what I love about Christmas.
Memories.
[Music]
That's what I love about Christmas every year.
[Music]
I think it should be bright gold with red sparkles and taste like strawberries.
That would be good, but what if we made it silver glitter and blue and blueberry flavors?
Sweet! What do you think?
Cotton candy!
Oh, why does this happen every year?
Because making the Here Comes Christmas candy cane is a Ponyville tradition.
Well, it's not very fun.
How can you say that? I love this part of Christmas!
You do?
Well, here!
Huh?
I meant making a candy cane, you know, Here Comes Christmas!
No, I know Christmas is almost here.
That's why I'm trying to untangle them.
Help!
[Music]
Hey, it's the Here Comes Christmas candy cane!
I didn't know you two were starting this.
Oh, what flavor and color are we going to make it this year?
Golden red strawberry or silver glitter and blue blueberry?
Hmm, how about pink and mint?
Pink and mint?
Sure!
Pinky is the Christmas host this year, right?
Add some mint and you have pinky mint!
Wow!
[Music]
Hey, we need to get over to the big tree.
He's about to make her Christmas speech!
[Music]
Hey, everybody!
Oh, wait for me!
[Music]
How can you smell the sweetness of Christmas without a nose?
Perfect!
Oh, maybe his head was a smidge to the left.
No, maybe a scooch to the right.
[Music]
Oh, oh! Merry Christmas!
[Music]
As this year's Christmas host, I first want to thank last year's Christmas host, Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow!
Rainbow, we love you!
Rainbow Dash, we do love you!
Rainbow Dash, you made last year's Christmas so colorful and filled with, well, rainbows!
Why, thank you!
Thank you, darlings!
How darling of you all!
[Music]
Oh!
Ever since we can remember, we have been making and then placing a very special Here Comes Christmas candy cane at the tippy top of the tallest tree in all of Ponyville.
This candy cane is sprinkled with magical glowing dust so Santa can see through all the clouds and make his way to Ponyville on Christmas Eve.
Clouds? Did she say clouds?
Why does it have to be clouds?
Don't worry, Thistle Whistle!
Santa's flying tonight, not you!
Yep, that's true!
Very true!
It's Santa's big night!
He does it all right, and not me, my friends!
This year, the Here Comes Christmas candy cane is exquisite, darlings!
[Music]
It's the best and the very brightest!
Where is it?
I can't see it!
Um, oh, hey, could I climb on your shoulders?
Oh, is that it?
Oh, is it here yet?
Oh, wait!
I think I can smell it, but I can't see it!
Oops!
Oh, sorry!
Oh, oh, oh!
Sorry!
Uh-oh!
Was that your foot?
Oh, sorry!
Oh, hi, Minty!
Thought that was you!
Hey, nice sock!
Thanks!
They're one of my favorites!
Of course, I do love my green socks the best!
Or maybe my silver sparkle socks are my favorite!
But I really like my rainbow socks and my glow-in-the-dark socks!
Oh, yeah!
Oh, who am I kidding?
I love all my socks!
But, Minty, you're only wearing one!
Oh, well, I had to, of course!
But I gave one away for a very special reason!
And to make it extra special this year, I have asked one of our new friends to place it on top of the tree!
[Music]
There you go, Star Catcher!
Please put this in the place of honor!
Consider it done!
[Music]
And a perfect fit!
And it is done!
Merry Christmas, everybody!
Ponyville, for sure!
[Music]
Okay, ponies, we have to string lights, make goodies, and decorate our trees!
Let's get busy!
It's almost Christmas!
Wow!
I'm so excited!
I'm gonna put lights up everywhere!
I'm gonna make a gingerbread house!
[Music]
Perfect!
Oh, maybe it needs to be a smidge to the left.
Oh, no!
Oh, maybe a scooch to the right!
Higher!
Slower, Thistle!
Star Catcher!
[Music]
I guess it's up to me to fix this!
It's gotta be just right for Santa to see!
No, I wish I were a better pilot!
Maybe I'll ask Santa for balloon lessons for Christmas!
[Music]
Oh, that looked a little closer than it was!
[Music]
I can do this!
I know I can!
Just have to give it a little more...
Um, just a little closer!
If I could just move the bottom a little...
Oh, what a pinky mint delicious smell!
Santa's sure lucky getting this candy cane!
He's gonna love eating every pinky mint bite of this!
Ah, I wish I was Santa!
[Music]
That was close!
Hurry, hurry!
Time!
[Music]
Are we ready?
Hit it!
[Music]
[Music]
Foreign!
[Music]
So sparkly pink!
It's just perfect!
Now it's perfect!
Well, maybe not so perfect!
In fact, it's not perfect at all!
I think maybe just one more look tap and it'll be...
[Music]
Oh, oh no!
Do over!
Do over!
Please tell me that didn't happen!
Well, maybe it's not as broken as it looks!
Oh no!
It's more broken than it looks!
What am I gonna do?
I broke the special bright shiny pink one-of-a-kind Here Comes Christmas candy cane into a bunch of crackly pieces!
Oh, Santa won't be able to find us without the glow of the candy cane!
What am I gonna do?
What are we all gonna do?
I've ruined Christmas for everybody!
This is not good!
Not good at all!
[Music]
Uh, sure!
Yeah, of course!
Isn't everyone?
Uh, Sparkle Works, can I tell you something?
Oh, sorry!
Sorry, I'm right now, Minty!
I've got to finish all these lab posts!
Can we talk tomorrow?
Yeah, we got a jam!
Minty, you might try Pinky!
Pinky!
That's it!
I'll tell Pinky!
She'll know what to do!
After all, she is the Christmas host!
Uh, two pink!
Oh, darling, you can never have too much of something you love!
And you love pink!
Lots and lots of pink!
I might have added a few other colors just to make it more of a rainbow!
But as pink goes, this is fabulous, darling!
Oh, must run!
Have rainbows to hang!
Oh, it is fabulous, isn't it?
Hey, Pinky!
[Music]
Minty, look out!
Oops!
Sorry, Pinky!
That's okay!
But now that you're here, you can help us hang this banner!
I'm just a little busy with the Christmas celebration being tomorrow!
But, um, I have something to tell you!
You see, I didn't mean it!
I mean, I was just trying to make it straight!
All I meant...
Well, you know, I mean...
Oh, and then I slipped and I grabbed it instead of it!
And you know, it kind of slipped and then it just sort of happened!
Oops!
Mandy, I am sure everything will be okay, no matter what you did!
But right now, I still have tons to do!
I promise after Christmas we'll sit and talk and laugh and giggle!
Can't stop Christmas from coming unless you're me!
Did I touch it?
[Music]
Why did I break the Here Comes Christmas candy cane?
Now Santa isn't coming tonight!
Everyone will be so disappointed!
I'm disappointed in me!
All my friends are so excited about Christmas!
Cotton candies, cocoa, sweet berries, cookies, twinkle twirls, carols!
And look at my socks!
They're all knotted up like Christmas!
I've ruined everything for everybody!
But how do I unruin it?
Thanks to me, Santa isn't coming!
Santa!
That's it!
I will be Santa and give everyone a great present!
It'll be Christmas again!
Now, what can I get my friend?
It has to be wonderful!
It has to be special!
It has to be...
After all, who doesn't love socks?
[Music]
Everybody loves socks!
For Rainbow Dash, for Sparkle Works, and of course for Pinkie Pie!
[Music]
They can't be plain or fancy!
They can't be short or long!
The simple white kind, a glue-by-night kind!
With socks, you can't go wrong!
A gift as good as candy, a big balloon or blocks!
They always come in handy!
And nothing says Christmas like a pair of socks!
When winter is turning your nose a little bit, socks will make you feel cozy!
Who doesn't love to wear them?
No one at all, that's who!
New!
[Music]
Or a teddy bear that talks, or a picture book of kittens!
But nothing says Christmas, nothing says Christmas like a pair of socks!
[Music]
Foreign!
[Music]
Foreign!
[Music]
What you doing?
I'm sleeping!
What are you doing here with one of your socks on your head?
I was trying to be Santa!
Why?
What's wrong with the real Santa?
Broken!
You broke Santa?
No!
I'm so sorry!
I ruined everything!
I broke the Here Comes Christmas candy cane!
Oh, it was an accident!
I just wanted to make it straight!
I just wanted to make it perfect!
Uh, maybe we can glue it together?
Too many little crackly pieces lost in the snow!
But without the Here Comes Christmas candy cane, there's no glow!
Without the glow, there'll be no Santa in Ponyville!
Without Santa, there's no Christmas!
Minty, minty, minty!
I know, I know, I know!
I'm really, really, really sorry!
Minty, what's your sock doing on my mantle?
Pinky, you're right!
I can't be Santa!
Holy Santa can be Santa!
And they're just dumb old socks!
You're giving away your socks!
Oh, Minty, please don't cry!
We'll think of something!
I've got it!
You've got it?
Nah!
[Music]
You can always...
I could...
I could...
Um, this is it!
I feel it!
I feel it too!
What am I feeling?
Leave town!
Leave Ponyville forever!
Ah!
I wasn't feeling that!
Um, I'll miss everyone too much!
No, no, no!
Leave to go to the North Pole!
[Music]
The North Pole?
The North Pole?
You mean the one where Santa lives?
Yep!
Where Santa lives!
Get it?
Yup!
I will go and talk to Santa and fix it so no one will be disappointed!
Thanks, Pinky!
You're the best singer I know!
Oh, Minty, wait!
[Music]
Oh dear!
[Music]
Hi, Missile Whistle!
I was just, uh, taking a walk and looking at the beautiful balloons, and I thought I would take a little ride!
[Music]
I broke the Here Comes Christmas candy cane and ruined Christmas for everybody!
So now I'm going to the North Pole and show Santa how to get to Ponyville!
[Music]
You really think that's a good idea?
I mean, well, you know how you are in balloons!
Okay, so I'm not very good at flying or steering or stopping!
I have to do this!
Wanna come with me?
When you say "whip," do you mean fly into the clouds with you, or do you mean wave goodbye and wish you good luck with you?
Come on!
It'll be sort of like an adventure!
When you say "adventure," do you mean fun and games kind of adventure, or do you mean it's scary out there kind of adventure?
It's okay, Thistle!
I understand!
But this is something I have to do!
I have to go find Santa Claus to see if I can make up for what I did!
Well, balloon looks like it's just you and me!
[Music]
North Pole, here we come!
Wait, Minty, wait!
Oh, I should go with you!
Come back!
I didn't mean you should go alone!
Meet the aluminum balloon!
That's not good!
You're right, Thistle!
I need to go after her!
It'll be faster if I follow her!
Thanks, Thistle!
Be careful!
There are clouds up there, you know!
You know I know!
I see them!
Minty needs me!
No!
What are a few fluffy, harmless clouds anyway?
[Music]
Steer!
Steer away!
Steer away!
Or maybe not!
[Music]
Close!
[Music]
But that was closer!
Okay, well, this is okay!
I hope the wind knows the way to the North Pole!
Oh, up!
Up is good!
What happened?
Where's the Pinky?
Are you all right?
What's that?
Santa?
Was that Santa?
What's going on?
Oh dear!
Look at the tree, darlings!
But the Here Comes Christmas candy cane is gone!
Minty!
Yeah, Minty!
Are you in there?
Hey, everybody!
It's not in the snow!
Well, not in one piece!
It broke!
Minty accidentally broke it into a bunch of crackly little pieces!
[Applause]
To find us!
No Santa!
Whoa!
What should we do?
First, we need to go rescue Minty!
Rescue her?
Oh dear!
Is she in danger?
Darling, she's Minty, isn't she?
And she's flying a balloon!
She felt so bad about what she did!
She's on her way in a balloon to the North Pole to find Santa and save Christmas for all of us!
Minty out there in a balloon alone?
Poor darling!
Yes!
And Thistle Whistle went out in these clouds to find her!
Thistle Whistle out in these clouds to find Minty!
We've got to go find our friends!
They need our help!
Oh!
[Music]
[Music]
Hey!
Hey!
[Music]
[Music]
Foreign!
[Music]
Am I glad to see you!
Okay!
[Music]
Look!
Clouds everywhere!
Yeah, but we can't!
I have to get to Santa to tell him what I did so my friends will have Christmas!
[Music]
[Music]
All right!
Maybe we should just forget the North Pole!
The clouds don't look so bad!
Maybe a few more minutes or options!
Oh, we could leave right now!
[Music]
You're hanging on?
Yeah!
Oh, yeah, sure!
Or we could go now!
Thistle, do you know the way home?
I'm okay, thanks for asking!
[Music]
Thank you!
What?
[Music]
Do you say that again?
[Music]
That's not good!
[Music]
So we're okay, I hope!
[Music]
Important!
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Wow!
That was close!
We need to find somewhere to land until the weather clears up!
Yeah, I think you're right!
Can you lead the way?
Consider it done!
Follow me!
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
They make their own sugar for their own cookie shop!
Smells sweet!
Oh, look how darling!
Darlings, this must be where the elves live!
And I guess that is where Santa lives!
It's a note!
It's from Santa!
It's a no!
It's a no, darling!
Oh, yep!
The Big Kahuna!
That's an important note!
It says, "Sorry I missed you!
Gone giving!
Be back in the morning!
Merry Christmas!"
Santa's gone!
I am so sorry I ruined Christmas for everybody!
I didn't mean it!
It was an accident!
We know, Minty!
Oh, darling, of course we do!
Two true mints!
You and Thistle are safe!
That's all that matters!
Minty, you came all the way up here to give us back our Christmas!
You've brought us to the most magical place of all!
Well, the North Pole is pretty special!
I meant in here, you heart!
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
Look, everybody!
The clouds are clearing up!
What do you think, Star Catcher?
It's Christmas time to go home!
Can you lead us back to Ponyville?
Consider it done!
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
The magic of Christmas can make our world glow so bright!
There are wondrous places!
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
Miss you!
The magic of Christmas, a gift of great joy in store!
Here's to the magic of Christmas!
It's all we've been longing for!
Magic forever and ever!
[Music]
[Music]
Never and ever!
[Music]
[Applause]
Here, everything looks so darling!
Darlings!
Hey, everybody!
Look at the big tree!
[Music]
Are those your socks?
Yeah!
My pink socks for, well, Pinky!
My sparkly silver socks for Sparkle Works!
My rainbow socks for who else?
Rainbow Dash!
And I guess I thought if I gave everyone one of my socks...
Oh, silly, huh?
But wait a minute!
I didn't...
I mean, I hung them inside!
And you gave us your precious socks, darling!
How darling!
Whoa, Mintz!
Thanks, little good y!
But, but didn't I mean they were just plain old empty socks?
Besides, I was at the North Pole, remember?
Then who did all this?
Santa!
How did he find us without the glow of the candy cane?
Maybe it's not the glow of a special candy cane that brings Santa to Ponyville every year, but the glow of everyone's love and concern for each other!
After all, isn't that the true meaning of Christmas?
Why, yes!
That's this little!
[Music]
Tree!
Hey, everybody!
There's another note from Santa!
Um, Minty, the song idea is a good one!
Mind if I use it from now on?
[Music]
Christmas, Minty!
Merry Christmas to you too, Pinkie Pie!
Merry Christmas, everybody!
[Music]
Rainbow-colored lights glowing bright on minty nights, and a bow on every door!
Dancing through the air is the laughter that we share with our Pony P
