Snowfall and Estelle then suddenly appear back where they were before the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Past took them to their pasts.
"Spirit, what are we supposed to-" Snowfall tried to ask, but looked around to see they were back in her shop. "Spirit?"
"What the-?" Estelle said, confused as she saw a big present inside the shop.
Snowfall looked curious of the present as well. Estelle knocked on the present. There was then a confetti blast heard.
"Snowfall Frost and Estelle Fudo, it is I, the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents!" A ghostly yet shrilly voice greeted.
This caused the two of them to become confused.
"Don't you mean 'present'?" Snowfall asked.
"Yeah, you know, like the time." Estelle added.
"No! Toys, Hearth's Warming doll... Here, want a cupcake?" the ghost replied to prove her namesake's point.
"Fine, 'presents'," Snowfall rolled her eyes. "All of the pointless things ponies waste their time on."
"Oh, Snowfall, it's not what the gift is that matters, it's what the gift means!" The ghost replied.
"It doesn't mean anything," Snowfall scoffed. "It's just stuff!"
"Exactly!" The ghost continued on her little rant as she used the pastry, doll, book, and scarf as examples. "Sometimes a cupcake means 'I love you'! Or a toy means 'Hi, how're you doing?'. Sometimes a book means 'Your mane looks amazing'! And sometimes a scarf means... Well, a scarf usually means you look cold. That one's easy."
"We don't understand where you're going with this." Estelle said.
"Whoa, whoa!" the ghost suddenly then trembled all over her body.
"What's happening to you?!" Snowfall panicked.
"My Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents Sense is going off!" The ghost replied.
"Does that mean you're gonna sing now?" Estelle asked since the last ghost sang them a song before taking them to a certain time period.
"You know it!" The Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents smiled.
"Figures..." Estelle said before she and Snowfall were now traveling yet again.
"Take a look at everything around you, All the smells that surely will astound you, Open up your heart, it will surround you, In the magic of Hearth's Warming Eve~" the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents sang. "The little things that make it better, Little ponies spreading cheer, Give a toy, a hug, a sweater, Memories that last all year~"
Estelle suddenly found this song rather fun and decided to join in.
"The present's always filled with presents, Large, medium, and small, Sometimes the most important things, Aren't very big at all~" The spirit and the young girl sang together that time before having a tap-dancing solo.
"What a party, there's so much to see here, Can't believe you didn't want to be here~" The Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents sang as she was in front of a window of the party that Snowdash was visiting. "You'd have had a blast, I guarantee here, This is the spirit of Hearth's Warming Eve~"
"Cider's flowing, this is living, Come on and feel the beat~" Estelle sang as she somehow got inside while everyone at the party couldn't see her. "Life is better when you're giving, Each time you do, it feels so sweet~"
"The present's always filled with presents, So come on, open your eyes, Spend time with ponies just like you, And watch your spirits rise, The present's always filled with presents, Take a look around, The reason for the holiday, Is quite easily found, Yes, the reason for the holiday, Is quite easily found, And the reason is to be with your friends!~" The two concluded the song.
"And the reason is to be with your friends!" Twilight read aloud in a high voice which had all eyes on her which then made her clear her throat into her normal voice. "What?"
"You sounded just like Aunt Pinkie!" Midnight giggled to her mother.
"I did not." Twilight smiled while blushing bashfully.
"You kinda did, dear." Flash chuckled to his wife.
"So, what happens next?" a white unicorn colt with indigo mane and crystal blue eyes asked, sounding rather posh and snobbish, but seemed nice enough.
"Well, Jasper," Twilight replied before she got cut off. "The party was-"
"Ooh, Twilight, can we take a quick break?" Matches asked. "I better check on Zak and Wheezie while they're with Hugo and Penelope."
"And I gotta go refill our cocoa." Spike said.
"Fine," Twilight groaned that she had to pause one of her all-time favorite stories. "But hurry up! We're almost to the best part!"
The dragon couple then went to take their little breaks, hopefully the kids would be settled until then.
"How's the story, kiddo?" Sweetie Bell smiled to the white unicorn colt.
"I really love it so far, Aunt Sweetie," Jasper smiled to her. "I can't wait to tell Mummy all about it!"
"I'm sure she'll love to hear it," Sweetie Belle smiled before having her eyes covered playfully by a certain earth pony that had a thing for video games. "Heeeey..." she then called before laughing.
"Guess who?" The pony smirked to her.
"Hmm... Would it be my handsome husband, Button Mash?" Sweetie Belle asked with a giggle.
"Congratulations, you win!" The brown pony cheered for her.
"What do I win?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"This." The brown pony held mistletoe over the both of them and they shared a loving kiss with each other.
"Ew!" A unicorn colt cringed playfully.
"Oh, come on, Jasper, surely you don't mind me kissing your Uncle Button in front of you." Sweetie Belle cooed to her nephew.
"Whatever, kissing mares is gross..." Jasper stuck his tongue out.
"My mom and dad kiss all the time..." Strawberry Pie pouted.
"Mine too." Midnight Sparkle added in.
"My maman only kisses my papa if he 'earns it', whatever that means." Felicity shrugged.
A white colt with blue-gray mane laughed. "I have two moms and they kiss all the time!"
A while later, Spike and Matches finally got back with a full cup of cocoa.
"So, how are the kids?" Spike asked his mate.
"Your sister says they're just fine," Matches smiled in relief before giggling. "Though she thinks Wheezie has your eccentric behavior."
"I guess that's a good thing." Spike said.
"Ready?" Twilight asked the dragon couple.
"We're ready." Spike and Matches answered.
Twilight looked back into her book to continue the story. "'The party was in full swing'..."
Snowfall, the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents, and Estelle were watching inside an old fashioned home with other ponies who are happily celebrating the holiday just as Snowdash arrived.
"Snowdash!" a unicorn beamed.
"Hey, Merry." Snowdash greeted softly.
"Oh, what's the matter, darling?" Merry asked.
"Is it the egg nog? I knew I put in too much cinnamon." A pegasus frowned.
"Oh, no, the egg nog was awesome, Flutterholly," Snowdash reassured the pegasus. "I'm just mad at somepony who was complaining about how awful Hearth's Warming Eve is."
"I don't suppose that pony's name starts with 'Snow'." Merry replied.
"And ends with 'Frost'?" The pegasus named Flutterholly added in.
"Yeah, along with a new assistant she hired named Estelle Twinkletoes, who is just a filly." Snowdash said.
"Oh, my... Well, what did they say?" Merry asked.
"They said Hearth's Warming Eve is just an excuse to party, and we would all be better off spending time working to make Equestria a better place," Snowdash said. "It was bad enough that Snowfall felt that way and now she just got a little pony in on it too!"
This made the crowd all around them boo which made Snowfall feel guilty about her negativity.
"Okay, maybe we did go a bit far with that." Estelle said.
"What does Snowfall think a better Equestria looks like?" Merry asked.
"Ponies working hard, learning and using their abilities for the benefit of Equeastria." Snowdash said, sounding like Snowfall herself.
This made Merry and Flutterholly giggle. Estelle and Snowfall both got startled as a snowball hit the window and where they both saw three children were having fun as they also had a snowpony.
"It looks like we've got everything on Snowfall's list right here." Merry commented.
"I think a perfect Equestria looks a lot like a Hearth's Warming Eve party." Flutterholly suggested.
The curtains then closed like a stage theater, and where Snowfall started to get tears in her eyes as well as Estelle.
"Me too! Too bad it's going to be the last one ever! Ever! Ever! Ever!" The Spirit of Hearth's Warming Presents said before her voice echoed slightly.
"Spirit? What do mean?" Estelle asked as both her and Snowfall started to walk right into a sudden fog.
