SYNOPSIS:
During their first date, Poppy shares her plan for a secret gift exchange among the Trolls, where each Troll must buy a gift for another, to be exchanged in Pop Village in three days. Poppy and Branch distribute the invitations, only to discover they have drawn each other’s names, causing Branch much anxiety. Meanwhile, Tiny Diamond struggles to create a perfect rap for his father and seeks wisdom from monks, eventually finding inspiration. As the gift exchange approaches, Poppy confidently prepares her gift, while Branch, panicking, creates an over-the-top machine that fails spectacularly. With Tiny’s advice, Branch realizes the perfect gift is a heartfelt scrapbook. At the exchange, Poppy and Branch reveal their gifts, realizing that their love for each other is the greatest gift of all. The Trolls celebrate by singing “Together Now,” and Poppy and Branch end the day with a sweet balloon ride over Troll Kingdom.
