SYNOPSIS
After learning that the Bergens no longer have any holidays to celebrate, Queen Poppy decides to introduce them to the Trolls’ festive traditions. Joined by Branch and the Snack Pack, Poppy travels to Bergen Town to share their celebrations with Bridget, King Gristle, and the other Bergens. While Poppy enthusiastically tries to bring holiday cheer to everyone, Branch’s more cautious nature provides a contrast to her boundless optimism as the Trolls’ celebration begins to overwhelm their hosts. When Bridget asks Poppy to give the Bergens some space, Poppy worries that she has damaged their friendship and begins to question whether her attempt to help was actually what Bridget wanted. As Poppy and Branch reflect on what happened, both the Trolls and the Bergens begin to realize that celebrating together means understanding what matters to each other.
