[screams]
[screaming continues]
[all laugh]
Freeze! I mean, uh… unfreeze.
Oh, how do you know?
There isn't much I don't see comi-- [yelps]
[all shout] No!
-Sorry! I was aiming for Hitch but-- -Sorry! Izzy was aiming for me but--
Just take me home!
Now!
Home? But it's a snow day!
The first ever in Maretime Bay!
Perfect to share with friends and followers!
Just because it's new does not make it good.
[all] What?
It is a bit overwhelming with everypony out in the snow.
Maybe somewhere quieter?
-No, that won't be-- -Oh! Like Prancing Point!
To the Mare Stream, ponies! Woo-hoo!
Uh, scootch please, Señor B!
Prancing Point, here we come!
[exhales] Much calmer, right, Posey?
I'm an Earth pony, not a sky pony. I'm an Earth pony, not a sky pony.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Uh, Posey, we're here.
Phew!
Here before me is the complete list of all good snow-day activities.
Ooh. Even snowponies?
Snowponies, of course. It's right here on my list.
Well, we'd better get started if we want to fit everything in!
Oh! Yeah! Snowday!
[all cheer] Yes! Snowday!
First up is… what Pipp said, that I definitely had written down.
Snowponies are so much fun.
To make them #snowmazing, all you need is--
Loads of snow!
Seriously. Roll as much snow as you think you need, then triple it.
The bigger, the better!
[upbeat music]
[screams]
And, the bigger the snow pony, the more snow-cessories you can add!
[music continues]
[Pipp exclaims]
Touching all that snow? Nuh-uh! Neigh-way! No frosty hooves here, folks!
I have a better way…
With a little bit of unicorn magic, you can make anything with snow!
[sinister laughter] Anything!
[cackles]
[fantasy music]
[exclaims]
-[laughter] -[Hitch] Whoa!
Oh! [laughs]
[music intensifies]
No, no, no… You ponies have this all wrong.
It's not about doing stuff with the snow, it's what you can do on the snow.
Like…
Don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it--
[Sunny, Hitch] Snowboarding!
This is my nightmare!
[screams]
Snowboarding is about discipline, control, being serious.
It's about grace, being free, having fun. But, most of all…
-[grunts] -[screams]
Not crashing.
[giggles]
-We could always try sledding! -Or snowballs?
Or snowcones?
They're so delish, Posey.
[giggles]
Maybe some ponies just don't like the snow.
That's it!
[sucking]
Now, this is my kind of snow day.
[garbles cheerfully]
[grunts]
[gasps] I've done it!
[dough farts]
[sighs]
Hey buddy, how's it going?
Ooh, are we dressing like mimes? Fun! I am so ready!
Oh, oh… [laughs]
Uh, no, I just wanted to make you all your favorite Winter Wishday cookies!
But I can't find the recipes anywhere!
I mean, I've never even heard of a kiwi-paya crystal unicookie,
or a royal banana nut bite, or, or--
Grandma Figgy's good-old-fashioned marshmallow citrus crumblies?
-Exactly! -Hey, don't worry about it, Sun!
We haven't even eaten those cookies since we were little foals.
Yeah! And they're never gonna taste as good as we remember them anyway!
Oh, really…
Time for "Operation: Wishday Cookie".
First, I'll get Grandma Figgy's recipe,
then I'll get Alphabittle's help in Bridlewood,
and then I'll break into the palace at Zephyr Heights to find
the top-secret royal recipe.
Wait! What?
-[hums] -Grandma Figgy!
-[gasps] -[thuds]
You've got to teach me how to make Hitch's favorite Wishday cookies!
Please?
Oh, Sunny! I'd love to teach you
if you think you're ready.
Er, what?
["Sweetest Time of the Year" playing]
So, uh, do you have the recipe written down somewhere, or…
Oh, no, dear, it's all in here!
Aw, that's sweet! So, how much flour?
Why? Just listen to your heart and your hooves will follow!
Oh, boy.
Alphabittle, I need your help!
Now, just stir three times clockwise.
Throw some salt over your left shoulder and break an egg with your right hoof!
[whispers] That's to chase away the cake ghosts.
Ugh, I said left shoulder! Do you want cake ghosts?

Your extra special Winter Wishday cookies are served!
Come on, Sunny, you didn't have to--
[bubbling]
Oh…
-Aah! -Oh, cake ghost.
Okay, I know they don't look exactly how you remember, but--
-No, uh, they look great! -[all] Uh-ha.
Can't wait to taste it!
[crunchies]
Err… [gulping]
[laughing]
[munches, yelps]
[exhales in satisfaction]
[all munching] Umm…
Just like Grandma Figgy used to make!
-We made a Wishday cookie for you, too! -Oh!
[gasps]
-Uh… -Not sure we got the recipe quite right…
[all laugh]
[groaning]
Everypony, hang on! We're coming in hot!
[all grunt]
[screaming]
See? I'm getting better…
[Hitch] Much better…
Quick, ponies! We can't miss the Wishing Star!
Come on! And don't forget your hat! Go! Go! Go! Go!
We made it!
Aw, look at their matching hats!
They look so cute!
Cute? [scoffs]
What are those ridiculous things on their heads?
Oh yeah, must be an Earth pony Wishday thing?
Ugh, silly ponies and their pointless holiday traditions.
It's sad, really. All that power and no intellect.
Yeah… [laughs awkwardly]
Mm… so sad.
Okay, everypony, get ready to make your wish!
Three, two, one…
-[all exclaim] -Amazing!
[dramatic music]
Wow! Look at tha-- Uh, Opaline? Are… you okay?
Did you see that? That magic? That power? It should be mine! All mine!
All I need is that dragon fire,
and then my powers can finally be restored to their full strength.
And you are going to make that happen, or else…
-[doorbell rings] -Take me on a sleigh! Hey!
Ooh! Another present.
"Do not open until tomorrow morning." Ooh, mysterious…
[groans] What is in here?
Ooh, this big one must be for me!
Hooves off this one, Pipp! Can't be opened until tomorrow morning!
-Check the label. -Aww…
-Sad! -Phew! That was close!
[grunts]
What am I doing? These ponies are so nice.
Come on, Misty. You get Opaline that dragon, you get a cutie mark!
Stay focused!
[snores]
That's not the… No! [snores]
[Hitch snores]
I know just how to get that little dragon's attention.
[snores, garbles]
[laughs]
[groans]
[munching]
What? [grunts angrily]
[upbeat music]
Gotcha!
♪ Dragon fire, dragon fire That's what I desire… ♪
-Opaline! -Misty! I, uh…
Well, I wasn't expecting you back so soon.
Clearly. Were you just… singing?
[laughs frantically] No!
[laughing continues] What? Of course not!
Singing? Me? You must be hearing things again.
[gasps] Is that what I think it is?
Open it.
[gasps] After all these moons,
finally I have what I need to resume my rightful place
as the most powerful Fire Alicorn in history.
What is that? Does that look like a dragon to you, Misty?
[groans] Can't you do anything right?
It was dark, I… I thought it was the dragon. I'm sorry, Opaline!
Well, don't just stand there!
[shouts] Get it out of here!
Oh! Another present!
"Open immediately."
[gasps] Don't mind if I do!
-[barks] -Cloudpuff? Ooh, how'd you get in a box?
I was in a box once. It's so fun!

-Huh? -[doorbell rings]
[all gasp]
[giggles, yelps]
Ponies! The time has come…
to do Secret Canter!
♪ Secret Canter time! It's Secret Canter time! ♪
♪ Time to canter secretly, Sing the chorus repeatedly! ♪
-♪ Secret Canter time! ♪ -Er… Secret what-er?
It's an annual Bridlewood Wishiehoof tradition, full of secrets!
Come forth, ponies, and let the sacred Wishiehoof vessel
reveal-eth your pony-eth to you!
So… we draw names from a hat?
Kinda. But with magic and mystery!
Hey, my elf hat! I've been looking for that--
Silence! The time for secret selection is upon us!
Hmm…
You may secretly check what pony you hath pick-eth-ed.
-[all gasp] -Now go and make them a present!
Whoa, there! Make? Uh, you mean buy? We're not makers, Izzy, we--
Secret Canter demands you craft the best gifts you can.
And, remember, ponies…
Let me guess! We have to do it in secret?
Are you sure you haven't done this before?
[laughter]
[cheerful music]
Ahh!
[groans]
[groans, sighs]
Argh…
[shrieks]
[yells, grunts]
[giggles]
The time is upon us! Reveal-eth your gifts!
[all] Wow!
"Step forward for your gift, and you may keep it,
but whomever it's from shall forever remain secret."
Ooh! A photo album! For pics of me and Sparky!
And covered in red sequins, Sparky's favorite!
Thank you, hoofever that was from.
Hmm. Who could it be, eh, Rudolph?
[gasps] Ooh! Perfect for my detective work!
A magnifying glass! Made from candy wrappers…
that doesn't actually magnify anything.
[chuckles awkwardly] Whoever made you those
must really know you well.
I guess I can just move my head closer to the clue?
Ooh, perfect for creating new products at Mane Melody!
Aw! Thanks, secret mystery pony!
Oh, very mysterious…
Wow! It's a… ah, I want to say a cake, or maybe cookie?
Hey. Did you know we're out of baking soda?
Not that I have any reason to know that.
Ooh! Oh, it's a diary! Because I love secrets! And glitter!
And glittery secrets.
Oh! Well, that was fun, Izzy.
-Any pony want some cookie-cake? -[cake farts]
Oh…
[both gasp]
[all] Argh… [laugh]
Sorry, Izzy! Guess we're not expert crafters like you!
Oh, cha! You put your hearts into crafting these gifts.
It's the thought that matters in Secret Canter!
[all laugh happily]
Ooh!
[sniffs]
Ha-ha-ha-hachoo.
-[all gasp] -Whoa! Check it out!
-A Wishentine miracle! -[camera clicks]
Yeah, now this is what I was trying to make!
Me too!
Aw, Izzy, your diary's just the same!
Hm. You can't improve perfection!
[laugh]
Oh, hah! Ponies, look! Over there! Oh, gosh!
There seems to be an extra gift for each of us!
[gasps] Hey! Look! We've all got…
Crafting belts!
It's pretty clear we could all use the practice!
Thanks, hoofever got us those.
-I'm gonna say it was Sparky. -[giggles]
[muffled sneeze]
[chuckles]
They're from me!
I made them for you all! They're from me!
Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
They were from me! Izzy! Izzy! I-I-Izzy! Me! Me! Me!
[all] Agh…
Hah!
Ahem. Dear diary. Phew, keeping a secret is hard work.
Oh, wait, did I say that out loud?
