The preview for this one looks promising. Musical and story oriented episodes are generally some of the best episodes of the show

[twiia 1,842]

It's airing now??? Guess I'll watch it later, if they air it again. Should be a good episode.

 

EDIT- sry, I'm in a different time zone, so I assumed it'll air at 10:30.

Derpy is totally best Hearth's Warming star!!! 

 

Also, that was easily the best Hearth's Warming song they've had yet.  I like the carol from Season 2, but this was a bouncy tune and it was fun seeing all of Ponyville celebrating.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,160]

Nice opening thus far; though this definitely would feel better when it was actually Christmas, but meh.

That flutterdash fuel tho

Derpy as the Hearthswarming Eve tree star? Instant avatar right there.

 

Aww, Pumpkin and Pound still have their baby eyes. Oh well they can still sing so I guess they must be somewhat older...

[Will Guide 21,357]

Beautiful and funny opening song for this episode. Now, there's more winter holiday footage for those who want to do PMV based on the non-canon "It's a Pony Kind of Christmas" album.

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

Still wondering why they decided on another holiday episode so soon after the last one, but hell if that song doesn't put you in the holiday spirit!

[Lexamena 391]

HWE episodes have felt off to me every season. All of a sudden it's the middle of winter in ponyville. And couldn't get farther from the holidays in the US, so it really feels out of place. They're always the best lessons though.

[Truffles 2,033]

Spike so upset over Starlight not wanting to celebrate HWE? He just wants the opportunity to give her a present because, well... 

[Will Guide 21,357]

Starlight Glimmer as Ebeneezer Hooves is great casting.

[Lexamena 391]

Oooha period piece is a neat idea, I like this.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

Bah Humbug! 

Yer a mean one mrs Glimm

[Lexamena 391]

Starlights voice sounds exactly like Vanessa from The Little Mermaid to me. Plus I love it when she is bad!

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

So, Starlight's screwing with the timeline. Again. Talk about history repeating itself.

[Batbrony 16,040]

That awkward moment when you want Starlight Glimmer to become a villain again because she seriously has the best villain songs. 

[Will Guide 21,357]

And we fade to black with the evil eyes of our villain glaring at us! Chills!

[Cosmik Vek 764]

Enjoying this so far and I also tried to understand the lyrics of an MLP song for a first time lol

[Eiwly 77]

I'm sooooo here for that song wooow

starlight is absolute faaave but when she's a villain?? like she's all the more amazing

what a villain song!! definitely an insta fave

[Cosmik Vek 764]

[Will Guide 21,357]

Hey! A Professor Snape- lookalike!

[CastletonSnob 3,068]

Snarky Spike is best Spike.

 

Starlight got burned.

 

I especially like how he punctuated it with a sip of cocoa.

[Will Guide 21,357]

Pinkie was expected to play the Present Ghost

Twilight Sparkle doing her Pinkie Pie voice is the funniest moment so far!
