The Hearth's Warming season is a time for celebration, and for family.
Diamond Tiara and Pipsqueak have never been the best of friends, but when he finds her sitting alone in the cold, he knows something is wrong. Nopony should be alone that close to Hearth's Warming. So to keep her company, he offers to tell her a story. A very special story, from Trottingham.
It's a story from a long time ago, about a pony named Tannenbaum, and a village called The Gate.
