The Canterlot Movie Club wishes to relive Christmas everyday.

Everyone loves Christmas. However, the Canterlot Movie Club made a wish to relive Christmas ad infinitum before going to bed. And would you know it, their wish came true. But at what cost? In order to undo their wish, the CMC must set things right by learning the true meaning of Christmas.

The CMC's Christmas Wish

On a snowy day in Christmas Eve at Canterlot City, some kids were building snowman around the neighborhood. Vinyl then started playing music from her turn table while Rarity and I were ready to sing with the CMC playing in the snow outside of their treehouse and Twilight remote-controlling the drone to record footage with the camera on her phone for the music video.

After that, Rarity and I posed with the snowman and the song ended.

Later in the evening, Rarity posted the music video from her laptop in her bedroom right before she went to bed.

It was Christmas morning and the Rainbooms gathered around at Applejack’s house. A knock was heard and Rarity answered it. She opened the door and saw you know who.

She said happily, “Merry Christmas, Amethyst!”

“Merry Christmas to you as well, Rarity!” I said.

We both hugged as Rarity raised her arm up. I looked up and said, “Say, isn't that a mistletoe?”

“Mmhmm,” Rarity wasted no time and kissed me under the mistletoe.

While we were kissing, the CMC immediately ran outside the house with their newly gifted sleds.

“Thanks for the gift, sis!” Sweetie Belle shouted.

“Merry Christmas, Amethyst Majesty!” The CMC shouted together.

I greeted them back, “ Merry Christmas, girls!”

Rarity stopped and replied, “You're welcome, Sweetie!”

“Hey! You girls didn't read the card!” Rainbow shouted as she entered outside.

I told her, “It’s alright, Rainbow. Let them have their fun.”

Rainbow sighed, “I suppose you’re right, Amethyst. It is Christmas after all.”

She went back inside as Rarity looked at me and asked me, “Wanna come inside?”

“Sure.”

I entered the house with Rarity as the CMC arrived at a snowy hill.

“Last one down the hill's a rotten egg!” Scootaloo called, gaining the lead with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom catching up.

Later in the evening, it was time for dinner.

Applejack opened the door and hollered, “Girls? Dinner!”

The CMC entered the dining room quickly with their utensils in hand.

Scootaloo remembered, “If there's one thing better…”

Sweetie Belle continued, “…than Christmas presents…”

Apple Bloom sounded off, “…it's Christmas dinner!”

With Granny Smith delivering the dinner under the tin cover, we all sat down on our chairs and Rarity asked, “Isn't this lovely? All of us gathered here for a wonderful meal?”

Pinkie rubbed her hands and said, “I think this is my favorite part of Christmas evening.”

“Applejack, would you like to start off with a little prayer first?” Granny Smith asked her granddaughter.

Applejack smiled until the CMC started eating the Christmas dinner early.

“Girls! Where are yer manners?” Applejack angrily asked them, making the CMC stop eating.

With a little burp from Scootaloo, we all facepalmed or crossed our arms with disappointment.

“Oh c'mon. This food is so good!” Scootaloo cheered.

“Your gravy never has lumps!” Apple Bloom complimented.

“We love your cooking Granny Smith!” The three girls said in unison, making Granny Smith feel appreciated.

Applejack sighed, “Well, since it's Christmas, Ah'll let this one slide.”

After we all finished our Christmas dinner, Rarity was on the piano and asked, “Alright, who's ready for some caroling?”

The CMC rushed to the Christmas tree where their toys are at. For Hearth's Warming, Scootaloo got a toy airplane, Apple Bloom got a remote-controlled horse, and Sweetie Belle got a doll.

Sweetie Belle answered, “We'll pass.”

“We want to play with our toys,” Scootaloo said.

And with that, the CMC went to play with their toys while the rest of us sang.

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year!

Later, the clock struck at 9 pm and the CMC continued playing with their toys at their respective homes.

Applejack ordered, “Bedtime, sis.”

“Aww, not yet,” Apple Bloom pleaded.

In Rarity’s house, Sweetie Belle told her sister, “Christmas can't be over yet.”

In Rainbow’s house, Scootaloo told Rainbow’s parents, “Just give me one more minute. Please?”

Later, the CMC put their toys away in their toy chests and went to bed in their respective bedrooms.

“What a great day!” Scootaloo sadly said.

Sweetie Belle thought, “My friends and I should do it more often.”

Apple Bloom wondered, “Maybe once a week should be enough.”

Scootaloo looked at the calendar in her bedroom and sighed, “It'll be another 365 days until we get more Christmas.”

The girls then looked up at the stars from the window and made a wish together separately.

“Star light, star bright…” Sweetie Belle started.

“First star ah see tonight,” Apple Bloom continued.

“I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight,” Scootaloo continued.

The CMC made their wish together in unison, “We wish it was Christmas every day.”

The stars grew bright and as the CMC went to bed, a shooting star flew into the night sky and their wish would came into fruition.

The next (Christmas) morning, the CMC woke up in their respective bedrooms. They tore up the page of the calendar and it was the same date as yesterday.

“Hey, what is this?” Scootaloo wondered as she continued tearing up the pages of their calendar.

In their houses, the girls went downstairs and saw the Christmas presents under their tree.

“No way…” Scootaloo said in disbelief.

“Am ah seeing what ah'm seeing…” Apple Bloom wondered.

“It's…” Sweetie Belle finished.

“Christmas… again!” The CMC cheerfully yelled in unison.

And so, the CMC were back at Applejack’s house and rode on their sleds.

“Last one down the hill's a rotten egg!” Scootaloo called and rode on her sled with her two best friends.

As the evening settled in, the CMC arrived at the dining room with the rest of their friends to enjoy their Christmas dinner.

Rarity asked, “Isn't this lovely? All of us gathered here for a wonderful meal?”

The CMC immediately went to eat their Christmas dinner early.

“Girls! Where are yer manners?” Applejack angrily asked them, making the CMC stop eating.

With a little burps coming from the CMC, we all facepalmed or crossed our arms with disappointment.

Sunset told her, “They're just enjoying their Christmas dinner.”

“Just let it go, AJ,” Sci-Twi assured her.

“Man, I'm starving,” Spike said before he started chewing on his piece of turkey.

Applejack calmed down and exhaled her breath. “Alright, fine.”

After Christmas dinner was done, we started caroling again.

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

The clock struck at 9 pm again and the CMC were back to bed in their respective homes. They began video chatting in excitement.

“That was great!” Apple Bloom brightly smiled.

“Double great!” Scootaloo gave them a thumbs-up.

“Let's do that again!” Sweetie Belle cheered.

“Alrighty then, have a good night y'all!” Apple Bloom called.

It was Christmas morning again and the CMC celebrated again with playing with their toys in their homes and riding on their sleds.

Later in the evening, my friends and I gathered around at the dining table.

Rarity asked, “Isn't this lovely? All of us gathered here for a wonderful meal?”

The CMC were stuffed after eating their Christmas dinner. After that, they were starting to get tired while my friends and I were caroling until the clock struck 9 and we all went home.

The next morning… Oh who am I kidding. WE’RE STUCK IN A FREAKIN’ TIME LOOP!

So, the CMC went to their clubhouse at midnight and discuss about the ongoing issue.

“This is horrible! All over the world is stuck on Christmas Day! The banks are closed, the markets are closed, and all the roads are closed.” Apple Bloom cried.

“Plus there's no school!” Scootaloo cheered.

“I'm okay with it,” Sweetie Belle noted.

Scootaloo nodded, “Me too.”

“Yes, but that's not the point girls!” Apple Bloom stated, making her two friends frown. “The point is, Christmas Day won't stop.”

Sweetie Belle sadly said, “And it's gonna happen all over again.”

Scootaloo noted, “Not to mention that it's even worse than the Miss Anon-A-Miss incident we pulled last year.”

“Yer right. Yesterday’s today, today is tomorrow, and it’s gonna be the same thing all over again.” Apple Bloom realized the time loop they were all living in, making her go crazy and flapped her arms repeatedly, “Day in and day out, day in and out…”

Sweetie and Scootaloo stopped her, snapping her out of the craziness.

“Hey! Get a grip! Will ya?” Scootaloo said.

“Get a hold of yourself, Apple Bloom!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

Apple Bloom calmed herself down and apologized, “I'm sorry, girls.”

Her two friends patted her on the shoulders.

Sweetie Belle understood her, “It’s okay, Apple Bloom. We know how you feel.”

Scootaloo stated, “If I see the same toys again, I’ll go out of my mind.”

Apple Bloom chuckled, “Yeah, and if I eat any more Christmas dinner, I'm gonna need new clothes.”

“We gotta do something to stop this,” Scootaloo vowed, putting her fist down on the palm on her hand.

Then, Sweetie Belle realized something.

“Hey, girls,” Sweetie Belle called. “Do you remember wishing something at Christmas night?”

Scootaloo remembered, “Yeah, I wished for Christmas to be every day.”

Apple Bloom gasped, “Me too.”

“Me three,” Sweetie Belle raised her hand.

The pieces were all coming together and the girls realized that they were the ones responsible for the mess they caused.

“Oh no, what have we done?” Sweetie Belle sat down in defeat.

Scootaloo sadly stated, “All we wanted was to have more toys and spend more time with our family. And now, everyone doesn't know that we are all stuck in a time loop.”

Apple Bloom told them, “Girls, stop! I understand how you feel, but we gotta face the music. It's all of our fault anyway, but we can still fix this. Together.”

“How?” Sweetie Belle questioned her.

“We gotta change things up a bit. Because I read the card earlier,” Apple Bloom told them and showed them the Christmas card that Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow made for them.

They all looked at the message as Sweetie Belle read.

”To Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Christmas isn’t about candy canes, toys, food, holly, or lights all aglow… It's about the hearts that we touch and care that we show. Wishing you lots of love. Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash.”

The CMC teared up and came together for a group hug.

Scootaloo cried, “Gee. I don’t know about you girls, but I don’t ever want to do that again.”

Sweetie Belle nodded, “Me too.”

Apple Bloom added, “Me three.”

“Let's make tomorrow the best Christmas ever,” The CMC vowed in unison.

So, they grabbed their sleds in Applejack’s house and went to work, building something to combine their sleds together.

“We’re sure pulling these sleds to good use!” Scootaloo said.

The next morning, Applejack and Granny Smith yawned until they noticed Big Mac and Apple Bloom in the kitchen.

“Huh?” Applejack wondered.

“Merry Christmas, Granny Smith and big sis. Big Mac and I made you breakfast,” Apple Bloom showed them their breakfast: Eggs and bacon with apple slices on the side and apple juice.

“Eeyup,” Big Mac confirmed.

“Aww, shucks. It looks great!” Granny Smith smiled.

Applejack teared up and hugged her siblings, “Thank you brother and sis.”

“You're welcome, big sis,” Apple Bloom hugged her back and so did the rest of the family.

In Rainbow’s house, Scootaloo and Rainbow’s family were opening their presents in the living room. Then, Scootaloo grabbed Rainbow by the wrist.

Rainbow told her, “Whoa, slow down there, sport. What's going on?”

The two girls arrived downstairs and approached the closet door.

“Merry Christmas, Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo opened the door and showed Rainbow a big sled that the CMC worked on from the sleds they received. It had colors of the rainbow with flames on the side.

“That. Looks. Awesome!” Rainbow cheered. “Thank you Scootaloo!” She hugged her friend.

Scootaloo replied, “You're very welcome, Rainbow.”

In Rarity’s house, Sweetie Belle and her family were opening their presents too and Rarity opened her present from her little sis. She unwrapped it and it was a new hair dryer.

“Oh my! How did you score this, darling?” Rarity asked.

“I've heard that your old hair dryer broke. So, I had a Secret Santa exchange back at school and Button Mash gave me a hair dryer. It was sweet, but you need this more than I do.”

“Aww, come here, darling,” Rarity offered a hug to her little sister.

Sweetie Belle hugged her back, “Merry Christmas, Rarity.”

“Merry Christmas to you as well, Sweetie Belle.”

Then, the doorbell rang and Rarity went to the door. She opened the door and it was me, yours truly.

“Merry Christmas, Rarity!”

“Merry Christmas, Amethyst Majesty!” Rarity smiled and presented me a mistletoe in her hand.

I looked up and said, “Say, isn't that a mistletoe?”

“Mmhmm,” Rarity wasted no time and kissed me under the mistletoe.

Sweetie Belle chuckled as well after that.

Later in the evening, the Rainbooms, Big Mac, Granny Smith, and I gathered around, sitting on our chairs at the dining table.

Granny Smith carried the plate with a heavy metal cover and the CMC decided to help her.

“That looks heavy!” Apple Bloom commented.

“Let us help you!” The CMC suggested in unison and carried the plate together.

Granny Smith smiled, “Aww, isn't that sweet? Thank you, girls.”

The CMC put the plate on the table and unveiled a big piece of ham from the metal cover.

“Ooh! Ham!” Pinkie smiled.

“Applejack, would you like to carve?” Scootaloo asked her.

The cowgirl chuckled, “Of course.”

After that, Applejack sliced pieces of ham for her friends and family.

Apple Bloom smiled, “Nothing better than all of us gathering together…”

Sweetie Belle continued, “…for a wonderful meal.”

“It's our most favorite part,” Scootaloo confirmed before eating a small piece of her ham that she cut.

“My feelings exactly,” Sunset understood them.

Later, the CMC asked everyone, “How about some carols, everyone?”

“Ooh, excellent idea, girls. It's like you could read my mind,” Pinkie commented.

Fluttershy nodded, “My thoughts exactly, Pinkie.”

“Let's all sing this one together, sis.” Sweetie Belle suggested, pointing her finger to the notes for the song, Deck The Halls.

Rarity replied in glee, “Ooh, I love this one. Let's do it!”

We all gathered around the Christmas tree and sang while holding hands with one another.

Meanwhile, outside of the house, the shooting star flew high above into the night sky again and undid the CMC’s wish.

The next morning, Scootaloo slowly woke up until Rainbow shouted outside, “Yo Scootaloo!”

Scootaloo looked through the window and saw Rainbow with her sled along with the rest of the Rainbooms and CMC.

“Come give me a push!” Rainbow chuckled.

Scootaloo looked through the calendar and tore the page off. It was December 26th. Christmas Day was officially over!

“It's over! Christmas is finally over!” Scootaloo celebrated and hurried downstairs to get her winter clothes.

Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle pushed the sled with Rainbow, Scootaloo, and Pinkie onboard.

“The day after Christmas!” Apple Bloom said to herself. “Would ya believe it, big sis?”

“Ah sure do, Apple Bloom.”

“You know what, I'm starting to understand now, girls.” Pinkie suggested. “You wish it could be Christmas… every day!”

The CMC widened their eyes and shouted in unison, “NOOOOOOOOOO!”

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle pushed the sled off the snowy hill while Applejack watched.

“Uh, what was that about?” Applejack asked her friends while the rest of the Rainbooms shrugged.

“WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” Pinkie cheered.

“Full speed ahead!” Rainbow shouted.

The sled drove down at high speed, but a fully-built snowman was in the way.

“Uh-oh…” Scootaloo said.

Pinkie yelled, “INCOMING!!!”

Less than a minute later, the three girls on the sled collided with the snowman. Everyone cringed and looked away with the CMC peeked with one eye open. Rainbow, Scootaloo, and Pinkie Pie popped out of the snow and assured them, “We're okay!”

The rest of the Rainbooms and CMC exhaled in relief and laughed it off together.

And so, Christmas was meant to last just one day and maybe it’s simply better that way. And you know what they say, be careful what you wish for, cause you might regret it for the rest of your life. Not even on Christmas Day.
