Some of the Bearers of Harmony were born in Ponyville. Some moved there. Twilight Sparkle was the last to arrive, uniting five unlikely mares into a team of heroes who would define an age.
Emphasis on "uniting." The relationships between the other Bearers before that Summer Sun Celebration ranged from "childhood friends" to "might be able to pick each other out of a police lineup." And yet, fate had its ways of preparing for what was to come. Some more subtle than others.

Seeing as it's their last year at CHS, Rarity decided that she wanted to try hosting a party. Of course, for the entire shindig to live up to her standards she needs to get just the right decorations. Fortunately, Pinkie's family have a quarry on the outskirt of Canterlot where she managed to secure the gems she needs.
Unfortunately the weather decided that she can't have that. Not that Rarity will take this fact lying down, not in the slightest.
Fluttershy has a long standing policy of not letting Discord alter reality for her benefit. She won't let him make her unfathomably rich. She won't let him give her untold power. She won't even let him make her immortal.
But she has taught him that friends are allowed to give gifts and help each other.
So if he can make everypony in Equestria her friend, then they'll just give her everything she could ever want!
The plan's flawless!
He's so smart.

Rainbow Dash has managed to get herself into yet more trouble: following a crash that killed stunned the Gift Givers of the Grove, she is being forced to take up the mantle of the Spirit of Hearth's Warming.
Trapped in the hell of delivering gifts for the rest of eternity against her will, she has only one solution: taking the Grand Council of Holidays to court to dispute the Rule of the Clause and free her.
Unfortunately, she doesn't actually know any lawyers.
Also unfortunately, her best bet for a substitute is Starlight Glimmer.

Hearth's Warming Eve is nearly upon Canterlot once again. The city is abustle with holiday shoppers and busy little ponies, but they all have the same thing on their mind: The Hearth's Warming Play!
Ponies from all across Equestria come to audition for the distinguished honor of being in that year's playbill. Whether it's as a stagehand, a contributor, or the coveted actor, it was just an honor to be listed. This year however, an even greater honor was on offer: to share the stage with Princess Celestia herself!
Well, it wasn't yet decided what role she'd be playing, but she was auditioning! Of course she was going to get a role! Why wouldn't she? It was a shoo-in. Especially with her sister Luna waiting in the wings to support her.

Equestria has been brought to its knees. Monsters of all kinds flood every city, the world itself seems to be on the verge of complete collapse, and every pony is trapped by the physical manifestation of their own deepest, most inner terrors and nightmares.
But it's Hearth's Warming, and Rarity's got gifts to give. And she won't let something as mundane as the end of the world get in her way. Time to panic will have to come later.

Sunset Shimmer is stuck inside a white room. She's been there for a while, actually. She doesn't particularly enjoy it in there, but she can't really go anywhere else. Her friends, of course, try to help with getting her out. It turns out to be more complicated than they might have hoped, but at least they can keep her company while trying to figure something out.
She just wishes she at least had some presents ready for them for when she gets back outside.

The secret of Santa Hooves is, there's not just one. There are thousands... all of them changelings, bound by an ancient pact to deliver presents in exchange for love to get through the winter. Times have changed, and the changelings no longer need the love, but they honor the pact... even Queen Chrysalis.
Even though it goes against everything she believes.
Because some ancient beings you just don't cross- even if it means dealing with a little pony brat who wants to bake cookies on Hearth's Warming Eve.
Besides, every year somepony has to save Hearth's Warming. This year it's Chryssy's turn.
(Don't worry. She does it. Even if she hates doing it.)
