    I think I'm biased towards Hearth's Warming Eve after watching the live stage reading of it at a convention on the Season 2 or 3 DVD set, which was a howl.

    I personally loved A Hearth's Warming Tail, though Hearthbreaker was really good as well.

    tuffduff is right. GlimGlam and Luna were in the episode. fan favorites. REGARDLESS of episode content, it will win. the episode was forced and generic. bad.

    All of those are pretty good and I enjoyed them all quite a lot. I really liked the story in Hearth's Warming Eve, giving us some more lore and seeing Mane 6 in various somewhat suiting roles. Hearthbreakers was entertaining in how we could see Apple and Pie families spending the holiday together, and how we could get some better glimpse at Pinkie's family. Hearthwarming's Tail was another great example of holiday episode, with some great songs and another fun lesson Twilight could share with Starlight, but really there was plenty of fun stuff going on in that episode. So all in all, all those were really fun - each in their own right.

    I'm going for Hearthbreakers - it has its Christmas athmosphere, a huge potential with the dragon egg continuity, deeper character development of Pie characters and a decent story as well.

    I can get behind Hearth's Warming Eve as well - it has nice, fairytale-like setup and story. Bonus: It tells us about the history of Equestria a lot.

    I don't get Heart's Warming Tail, though. It's a million-times used story of Dickens' Christmas Carol used once again here. I liked the Carol's theme in For Whom the Sweetie Belle Tolls, it was used smartly, galantly and decently. Here it was an exact copy with some gags in the background and fan-pandering with Luna. It's a minor plus indeed, but it is not something to base an episode on.

    A Hearth's Warming Tail is so freaking overrated.

    Hearth's Warming Eve, no contest. Nice worldbuilding, some excellent gags, and a solid story told effectively. I'm fond of Hearthbreakers because of how unexpectedly odd it is, though I think Applejack ends up carrying the idiot ball in order to provide the necessary conflict, and I'm still undecided if the depiction of the Pie family Hearth's Warming is charmingly over-the-top or just plain disturbing. A Hearth's Warming Tail has some great songs, artwork, and animation, but the story's a watered-down version of A Christmas Carol with a framing device that doesn't really work if you think about it too hard.

    the one that was NOT a generic rip-off of millions other Christmas stories with GlimGlam acting like an idiot with Twilight being a know-it-all. No thanks
