Here's my full review, for those interested. Allow me to sum up my thoughts. Sapphire Shores' return was unexpected and was pulled off very well. Rarity once again silences those whinny critics. And Sweetie Belle shows how talented she is with magic. This is likely the most refreshing take on the "Yet Another Christmas Carol" trope since The Muppets did their take on it back in 1992. And once again, Princess Luna has the worst timing with those dream sequences.
