MCM '25: Wrap Up Sophie - MCM (Winter's Paradise).mp3 "Winter Paradise" by @Sophie. ============================================================================================================ Hello there, everypony! Welcome to the MCM 2025 Review. On behalf of the MLP Forums and the staff, we hope that you enjoyed this year's Make Christmas Merrier. Now is your chance to give feedback. Did you enjoy the events? Wish you could have seen more? Do you have any suggestions for more activities you'd like to see in the future? Were there any activities you enjoyed so much that you'd like to do it again? Let us know! We are also very proud of everyone who donated to charity this year. Due to uncontrollable circumstances, we couldn't record who donated, so we can't give out any special rewards to our doners this year. It was the hope and intention of the staff that hosting a charity this way would make users feel less pressured to donate in fear of missing out on a reward. And now, we'd love to know your thoughts. Did you prefer this new format? Would you rather donation perks return for next year? Would you like to see perks handled differently? All thoughts and feedback are welcomed and encouraged. Most of all, we hope that this year's MCM left you with plenty of fun memories to look back on. With any luck, you'll all join us for even more grand events next year. Here's to the end of 2025, with hopes of an even better year in 2026. There is still one last fun activity just around the corner, and hopefully most of you will be able to participate. But even if you miss your chance, here's a fun little gift to close things out with, something you can watch any time you want. May it bring you joy and many laughs. ============================================================================================================ Thank you for participating in Making Christmas Merrier 2025! Remember, we are also hosting a charity, so please consider making a donation to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Together, we can make the holiday season merry for everyone. Donate Here!

Hey, everypony and Merry Christmas/Happy Hearth's Warming! It might not be the holidays just yet, but it's that time once again! That's right! I'm happy to announce that we are hosting Making Christmas Merrier once again! An awesome and lovely tradition we've had on the forums and a tradition that is to commence once more! While we will celebrating the holidays throughout the month, there will be a difference for this year's MCM. 1. The event will last from the beginning of the month until the end of the month. 2. This year's donations will go to St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, that focuses on advancing cures and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Now is the time to get into the main event and all of the fun! For almost every year, we spread love, hugs and the magic of friendship by donating and gathering funs. There's been a long history of MLPForums and Poniverse of supporting and it's a great honor and pleasure to take part once more in 2025! The money this year will go towards human health through advancing cures, investing in technologies for cutting-edge scientific research. The forum has long and wholesome history of being there for one another, while working towards a common goal. Through heart warming support, teamwork and camaraderie, any task is never impossible when we work as a team. Which is why we have an opportunity to extend to the wonderful children at St. Jude's Hospital, so that they can live their best life and celebrate every moment. Meet the children from St. Jude's Hospital! These are the young individuals, who will receive help thanks to your friendship and generosity. https://www.stjude.org/about-st-jude/stories/meet-our-patients/patient-mateo-in-st-jude-commercial.html https://www.stjude.org/about-st-jude/stories/meet-our-patients/meet-adi.html Back in MCM 2023, we had set a humble goal of $1,500. However, this year will not be a goal, but donating will still be an option. It is not required to join in on the MCM festivities, but it is still optional, welcomed and encouraged. <3 Through donating, there were rewards to meeting a certain number goal. This year, however, will be a bit different! Throughout the month of December, activities will be held for everyone to join in on the fun and festivities! From some classic events making a grand return, while some new events to make their grand entrance! What they are, only time will tell! How to donate? Simple!

MCM '25: Hearth's Warming Eve Roleplay Sophie - MCM (Winter's Paradise).mp3 "Winter Paradise" by @Sophie. ============================================================================================================ Greetings, everypony! With one of the busies times of the year approaching, it can be hard to find the time to have casual hangouts with your friends. So, we have an opportunity for you to do just that! This year's festive roleplay event will feature a casual Hearth's Warming Eve gathering, which you can participate with any of your OCs from any generation. To reflect the casual nature of the event, there will be no sign-up process. If you wish to participate, consider this your invitation to join us! You may jump in whenever you like, and if you need to step away, that's perfectly fine, too. This RP shall start now and run until December 24th. If you wish to make an out-of-character post, please denote it using the following format: (OOC: Text here). Please also use this format if you have a question or comment for me, in order to make things less confusing for everyone involved. Roleplay starts below. ════════════════════════════════════ ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . * . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶︶ Snow drifted gently through the air, across Canterlot's highest terraces. The brilliant marble walls of the royal castle had been dressed with evergreen garland, shiny tinsel, and decorations of all shapes and sizes. Inside, the magnificent ballroom had received a similar festive treatment. Long banquet tables had been decorated with bright red tablecloth and shimmering candles, ready for the delicious meals that would be shared later on. In another corner, a fire crackled away inside the large stone fireplace, creating a cozy setting for friends to sip hot coco and reminisce about memories of the past. In the middle of the room, a giant Fir tree stood as the focal point of the event, covered from top to bottom with beautiful decorations. Here, presents will be placed for loved ones to open and cherish. Dozens of creatures started to fill the room, ponies, kirin, changelings, dragons, and any other kind of guest imaginable. The real magic was here, amongst the voices of laughter from old friends reuniting, or the pleasant conversations from two individuals meeting for the first time. A pony has a large cauldron set up nearby, offering hot apple cider to guests as they arrive. There's plenty of room, plenty of energy, plenty of opportunities to join in the festivities. The annual Hearth's Warming Eve gathering is now in full swing. ============================================================================================================ Thank you for participating in Making Christmas Merrier 2025!

It's snowing a little more than usual right now, so how about we stay inside for a bit? Let me talk to the weather ponies to see how long it will take until it's all cleared up... Ok, the weather ponies say it might take a while for the snow storm to calm down. No problem, we can draw while we wait! You can share art you've recently made in this thread as long as it's related to the winter holidays and MLP. If you don't have anything to share, that's ok! You can still draw something and share it here later! Or if you want to surprise someone privately with winter-themed art, that's ok too! This is not a contest!

MCM '25: The Knowledge Tree Sophie - MCM (Winter's Paradise).mp3 "Winter Paradise" by @Sophie. ============================================================================================================ Knowledge grows like a tree; a holiday tree. You can't always see every branch nor every leaf, but the knowledge is always there. Hello there, everyone! Welcome to the Knowledge Tree. I openly invite you all to share any random facts you have that are absolutely fascinating. (Must be SFW and compliant with the Forum Guidelines.) Do you know something cool or fascinating? Do you know something that might restore people's faith in humanity? Maybe some overlooked gems that more people should know about? Now is the time to share! Those who know me can tell you that I often like to comment on status updates with random facts (usually when I don't have much to say). So for that reason, I shall go first. Did you know there is a non-profit business built around kindness? The phrase “random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty” was first coined (as far as we know) in 1982 and later inspired a best-selling book and a worldwide movement encouraging spontaneous kindness. This helped lead to the creation of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation and the World Kindness Movement, which now promotes kindness across nations. Did you know that electroplating goes back further than you think? As an example, the Persian Empire may have created a primitive electrochemical battery (the Baghdad Battery) more than 2,000 years ago. It suggests ancient electrochemical technology well before modern electricity, showing early experimentation with electrical phenomena. Did you know that Charles Dickens, author of A Christmas Carol, is a bit of a hero? After getting caught in a serious train crash in 1865, he was there to help out the other passengers. And he also managed to save and preserve his manuscript of Our Mutual Friend as well. I now leave the floor open to all of you. The facts don't have to be holiday related, but if you have some that are, that would be even better! ============================================================================================================ Thank you for participating in Making Christmas Merrier 2025!

The final Christmas tree wasn't the original one, but it still looks great.
