My Little Pony: Winter Wishday

My Little Pony: Winter Wishday
Written by: Dave Horwitz (Pony Life Season 1)
Songs:
"I Just Can't Wait for Wishentine's Day" (theme song)
"To Grandmare's House We Go"
"Joyous Wishentine"
Synopsis: Winter Wishday is fast approaching, and the Mane 5 are all looking forward to the magical holiday celebration. Sunny can't wait to exchange gifts with her friends under the wishing star that night in Maretime Bay, but finds that each of the Mane 5 have their own holiday traditions to celebrate as well. So, they hatch a plan to celebrate everypony's traditions in one day with the help of Izzy's newest upcycle project: a flying van they name the Mare Stream!

Together they takeoff through the snow to their first holiday stop, Hitch's grandma Figgy's house. There they build gingerbread houses and discover that, while Hitch assures them his grandma is very strict about her holiday traditions, it's actually him who's tied to his Wishday nostalgia. Afterward they depart to Bridlewood for Izzy's unicorn tradition of placing her hoofmade ornament on the Wishing Tree, a stop made even longer by Izzy stopping to tell every pony she sees "frosty shivers," the traditional unicorn Wishday greeting.

Racing against the clock, they head off to Zephyr Heights to attend the Wishday Carol Concert, which unfortunately runs way longer than expected. When it's finally time to leave, the Mane 5 find that the snowfall has become so heavy that they can't find the Mare Stream. With her detective skills and a little help from a book she borrowed from Grandma Figgy, Zipp puts together that the unicorns, not yet used to having their magic back, are accidently casting a spell when they say "frosty shivers" to each other. With this info, the Mane 5 journey back to Bridlewood to stop the holiday blizzard and barely make it back to Maretime Bay in time to exchange their gifts under the Wishing Star together. As the Wishing Star goes by, the Unity Crystals shine bright from the Crystal Brighthouse and send a rainbow up to it, creating a glorious light display in the sky over Equestria.

My Little Pony: Make Your Mark

My Little Pony: Make Your Mark
Written and directed by: Gillian Berrow
Supervising director: William Lau
Songs:
"Let's Make Our Mark Together" (theme song)
"Everything is Gonna Be OK"
Synopsis: Months after magic has returned to Equestria, Sunny Starscout and her new pony friends are excited to celebrate their new lives on Maretime Bay Day! But while their group may have adjusted to magic's return, plenty of Unicorns and Pegasi are still having trouble mastering their powers, frustrating the non-magical Earth Ponies who wish to return to how things were before.

This division worries Zipp, who notices that the Unity Crystals have begun glitching, disrupting magic for everyone. Zipp begins investigating, discovering the glitches seem to be happening more and more, their chaos further dividing the ponies of Maretime Bay. She tries to convince her friends that the Unity Crystals are acting strange, but they think she's worrying over nothing and DON'T believe her.

That is, until they witness a Pegasus falling out of the sky onto an Earth Pony themselves. This spurs outrage from the Earth Ponies, who threaten to boycott Maretime Bay Day if the town isn't made a magic-free zone. Now on her side, Zipp explains to her friends her discovery that magic is glitching when ponies aren't treating each other with kindness. Their mission now is to throw such an amazing Bay Day that everypony comes together in harmony to stabilize magic again.

But as the Earth Ponies air their frustrations with the inclusion of Pegasi and Unicorns in a holiday they see as their own, the glitches escalate, bringing about a massive magical storm that threatens to swallow the town. In the end, it's only the power of Sunny and her friends working together that saves the day.

As magic stabilizes, the Earth Ponies discover they now too have powers! Feeling included and having seen the error of their ways, they apologize and come together with the Unicorns and Pegasi in harmony to celebrate the rest of Maretime Bay Day together.
