It's that time of year again. The time of year where one Dazzling fills the home of the girls full of so much Christmas mirth the other two can barely stand it.

Like... for realzies... They're both completely sick of it.

Sunset Shimmer was vital to the defeat of the Dazzlings at the Battle of the Bands. Now a heroine instead of a villain, she accepts the mantle of leadership while struggling against her own past. Sunset Shimmer will extend a hand in friendship, which starts an adventure that will create far-reaching consequences for her friends on both sides of the mirror. This story begins two or three days after the conclusion of Equestria Girls 2: Rainbow Rocks.

Dane of Celestia crafted the wonderful cover art. His composition is entitled Three of Destiny. I hope you enjoy his work!

When Sunset saw Sonata Dusk return to CHS and experience a very familiar treatment, she encouraged her friends to reach out to the Dazzlings just as they'd done with her after the Fall Formal.

Several months later, Aria and Sonata have come to discover some joy in their new life-after-magic. Adagio, however, has continued to refuse the offer—out of bitterness, spite and an unwillingness to give those 'rainbooms' the satisfaction of seeing her break.

What she has yet to realize is that clinging to this resentment is hurting no one but herself.

Months after being defeated by Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer has changed her life for the better. Since then she has done what she could to atone for all the wrongs she's done. Even though she has made new friends it is on Christmas Eve while everyone celebrates the holiday Sunset Shimmer chooses to remain home instead. That is until she is visited by a certain legendary figure to teach her the meaning of Christmas.

(This is my first Christmas special, I also want to thank Shadow Bolt for the help on the story. Also there are a couple sad scenes but for some reason the site won't let me add a sad tab to it.)
