Hearth's Warming is usually a happy time of year, especially for school aged foals. But for Diamond Tiara, the holiday is just a reminder of her home life, stuck between an always working father and a mother that constantly berates and heckles her.

While attending a Hearth's Warming party hosted by Princess Twilight, Diamond finds herself growing jealous of the family her new friend, Apple Bloom has. And when Apple Bloom reaches out to a friend in need, it doesn't take long for the subject to turn to family.

But both fillies will be quite surprised by what they learn about the other, and little will they realize just how fortunate they are to have each other.

Twilight Sparkle isn't used to having friends, so when she receives invitations to two Hearth's Warming parties, she's thrilled until she realizes that she can't attend both at once. She tries to bring her Canterlot High friends and Crystal Prep friends together for the holidays, but tensions and bad blood boil over, and Twilight finds herself as the grand prize in the newest Friendship Games.

Donut Joe keeps his store open on Hearth’s Warming Eve. And why not? He doesn’t have anywhere else to be, and neither do the tired, bitter ponies who find their way inside.

But the Eve is young, and strange things lie ahead. Who knows what might happen on a night like tonight?

Rarity normally sees Hearth's Warming Eve as a pretty simple holiday. Eat cookies, put up with family, make Sweetie Belle a nice dress. But when all of Sweetie's other presents turn out to be clothes, Rarity can't bear the disappointment in her sister's cute little eyes. After finding an old Dress Me Daisy doll in her childhood bedroom, Rarity decides to make the doll into a perfect present.
