Merry Hearth’s Warming story plugs and warm wishes · 10:31pm Dec 23rd, 2017
With only a few days left until Christmas, I thought this would be the perfect time to put out some suggestions for holiday reading while you’re decorating the fireplace with Hearth Warming’s Trappings for Santa’s arrival.
I’ll start out with JingleMas 2017: from all the FimFiction authors you love.
Then my most recent: Merry Regiftmas - A fluffy little story about regifting unwanted changelings.
Yes, Twilight Sparkle, There is a Santa Hooves — Celestia reminisces about Hearth’s Warmings Past.
Escort Flight — The Night Guard escort a very special reindeer once a year
(A homage to the very tender story of Norad Tracks Santa )
And, of course, the heart-melting timeless classic Yes, Apple Bloom, There is a Santa Hooves by Lucky Dreams
Next, I’d like to plug two Fics by Jmac:
Candy is Magic — About non-Equestrians and the magic of Hearth’s Warming (plus candy)
Wonderful — A Quizzical take on It’s A Wonderful Life.
If you have not read A Canterlot Carol by GhostOfHeraclitus yet, go read it right now. If you have read it, go back and read it again.
In The Bleak Midwinter by Skywriter, a touching story of the Princess of Love and her settling in problems in the Crystal Empire.
Gadget’s Gift - An Iron Horse Christmas Special where the young inventor is faced with her first Hearth’s Warming away from home.
You’ve Got Spam! - A story of postal perplexion done for CoffeeMinion’s Secret Santa Exchange (and I helped)
Wassail Wassail - An Apple Family holiday with Cheerilee
Twilight’s Hearth’s Warming Carol by bats
Mistletrapped by TD - Look out! Spike has mistletoe and a mission!
Three Nights by Bradel - Princess Cadence faces Hearth’s Warming in the Crystal Empire.
Yule in a Donut Shop - Donut Joe keeps his store open during the holiday. This is why.
Something Stuck Up In The Chimney by kudzuhaiku - Celestia is cold and wants to light a fire. The fireplace says that’s a bad idea.
Season’s Bleatings by Estee - Rainbow Dash is sick of Hearth Warming Carols. Really sick of them.
For Changelings, we have
A Very Merry Chrysalis
Snowboardling
This Holiday is Going to be Perfect
Hearth Swarming Eve by Horizon - The changelings invade Ponyville on Hearth’s Warming… or do they?
Crossovers:
Mary is a Mare and Sunflower - A Very Mary Christmas With Erin, which is just adorable.
Some less traveled winter paths:
If Only In My Dreams by Dancewithknives
Generous Gifts by BlazzingInferno - Spike has the perfect Hearth’s Warming gift idea for Rarity, or so he thinks.
Bonds of Glory - A Hearth’s Warming Story
A Hearth’s Warming Wassailing - An interesting AU Twilight Sparkle and her kingdom
And sending you off this evening, I give you a reading of How The Great And Powerful Trixie Stole Hearth’s Warming, read by Monoverse — What it says on the tin, with nuts. Mostly Trixie.
Enjoy the season! Comments with links welcome!

...so many
I second this... Must read! Also checkout a piece with a sequel... in Ghost's Orbiter Dicta An Afternoon for Dotted Line .
Time to go read some of these others....
Going back a little further is Our Gifts by The Descendant. While preparing for the season, Twilight has forgotten one gift, and Spike chooses not to remind her.
If anyone knows The Descendant irl, just let him know that he is missed here, and I hope things are going well for him.
Santa has avoided the most sophisticated security devices ever devised (he probably invented most of them), so a few bear traps are not going to get him (and just might get your stocking full of coal).
