Winter tends to be a little cold, even in the seaside town of Halterside. The beach sand was frozen, the ocean colder than normal, the lighthouse covered in frost and given a haunting glow at night, and the rest of the town would be under a blanket of snow, awaiting the day that they'd begin their Winter Wrap Up.
Naturally, ponies would gravitate toward warmth. A colt named Silver Shill knew that very well, and thus, he attempts to run a cocoa stand at the town's Hearth's Warming Festival, with the drinks made by his late father's special recipe. After all, it was a delicious mix, and his Pop had always loved to serve it.
He may be in a little over his head. Still, it's a tradition, and he's going to continue it. Maybe it would help him get a handle on a recent tragedy, or impress that pretty little cousin of his neighbor's.
