Trolls Holiday 2017

Trollstice canceled, Bergens lose holidays

On Trollstice, the Bergen Town tradition of eating Trolls is canceled, leaving Bergens with no holidays to celebrate. This creates a sense of emptiness and disconnection between the two groups. Poppy begins receiving cards from Bergens celebrating different days of the week or times of day, hinting at a desire for new shared traditions.

Poppy decides to share Troll holidays

Poppy decides to share Troll holidays with the Bergens, hoping to bring joy and unity. She sees the cards from Bergens as a sign that they want something more than the old ritual. The idea reframes Trolls' role from outsiders to facilitators of shared celebrations.

Enlisting friends for the mission

She enlists the Snack Pack and her friend Branch to help carry out the plan. Branch is unfamiliar with happiness and worries about how it will feel to embrace joy. Together they prepare for the journey to Bergen Town.

Trip to Bergen Town begins

They board a bus driven by Cloud Guy and set off toward Bergen Town. The ride is lively but nervous, as they prepare to present new holidays to a wary audience. The trip signals a turning point in their mission to bridge two cultures.

Strange wormhole transports them

A strange wormhole swallows the bus, dropping the Trolls into Bergen Town. The sudden arrival plunges them into unfamiliar surroundings as they prepare to showcase Troll holidays. Cloud Guy's driving and the odd transit add a sense of surreal adventure.

Trolls share traditions, Bergens overwhelmed

The Trolls proudly show Bridget and Gristle their holiday traditions, inviting the Bergens to participate. The sheer spectacle overwhelms the Bergens, who are unused to such unbridled joy. Bridget and Gristle exchange strained glances as they realize how different their expectations are.

Bridget asks for space

Exasperated, Bridget tells Poppy to back off and give the Bergens some space. Poppy's enthusiasm falters as she senses the growing distance between them. The moment marks a painful rift that will need mending.

Poppy leaves with friends

Poppy, crushed by Bridget's reaction, departs Bergen Town for the forest with her friends heading into the woods. Her friends chase to bring her back and keep the mission alive. The departure signals a temporary rift that needs mending.

Poppy confides to Branch

In the forest, Poppy shares her fear that she may have ruined Bridget's friendship. Branch attempts to cheer her by singing lighthearted tunes and pointing out where Poppy may have missteps. Their conversation helps them stay hopeful about mending their bond.

Regret grows back in Bergen Town

While Poppy and Branch are away, Bridget and Gristle begin to regret their harsh treatment of the Trolls. Bridget acknowledges that Poppy genuinely cares about the Bergens and their happiness. They realize the need for a new bridge between the two sides.

Poppy realizes listening matters

Poppy realizes she was too focused on celebrating with the Bergens and not listening to Bridget's needs. This insight shifts her approach from spectacle to listening and collaboration.

Return and decorations

They return to Bergen Town and find the Bergens' decorations adorning the streets. Poppy and Bridget apologize to each other, acknowledging their care for one another. Branch's smile breaks through, signaling a thaw in the mood.
