TROLLS HOLIDAY IN HARMONY - Trailer

Official Promo

Trolls: Holiday in Harmony is a 30-minute animated special produced by DreamWorks Animation and premiered on NBC on November 26, 2021; it was first revealed in February 2021 TV listings. Like Trolls Holiday before it, it is based on the Good Luck Trolls toyline by Thomas Dam and spun off from the 2020 movie Trolls World Tour.

Synopsis[]

During the holiday season, Poppy explains to Branch on the Shelia balloon, which he was thinking they're going on a picnic date, that each basket is full of invitations; each one has the name of another Troll in Troll Kingdom. The Troll has to buy a secret gift for that Troll. The Trolls will meet in Pop Village in 3-days time to exchange gifts. Though Branch is unwilling to help when she asks, Poppy acknowledges he's onboard, and the pair sing as they deliver gifts around Troll Kingdom, visiting Symphonyville, Techno Reef, Lonesome Flats, Volcano Rock City and Vibe City before finally finishing in Pop Village. When they're done, Poppy and Branch pick out the last cards and pull out each other's names, with Poppy excited to have pulled Branch's name and Branch horrified he pulled Poppy's. Nervously, both part ways.

At Pop Village, Tiny Diamond rushes to grab and invitation and with help from Legsly grabs one. He pulls his father's name "Guy Diamond". Tiny does a rap, but finds it hard to rhyme "Diamond" and ends up with "Mimond". Legsly suggests he has lost his "Flow". In a swamp, Tiny meets a Rhyme-a-saurus, and tries to explain him his situation with his rap for his father, but the creature proves no help as he wants Tiny to rhyme "climate". Tiny shows the current rhyme to the creature and rhymes with "climate", but he can't work with the concept. Tiny then went on to meet Wind Breeze, who comments that his father is quite worried about him. She sprinkles some dust on him and he has a strange hallucination. When he wakes up, she comments his back should be completely healed, but Tiny comments he didn't seek her out for that. She sends him to the top of a mountain to seek out the monks at the Cloud Temple. When he arrived, Tiny starts to meditate with the Clouds, but their vow of silence means they are not talking to him and if they break it, they disappear for no reason. At the bottom of a cup of tea, he sees the words "You already have the gift". He tosses it away and the words "Look through the clutter" appear. The leaves form a face that asks him "what makes him special?". As he answers "he is just my-", a Cloud rings a gong as he goes to say "daddy". He realizes he just has to rhyme "daddy" and has his rap sorted.

In Pop Village, while Trolls are already gathering and busy. Poppy explains to Barb and Val Thundershock that her gift she's making is for Branch though Barb comments that getting her boyfriend must be a lot of pressure. Poppy ensures the pair she has it covered while Branch is in his bunker with Prince D and Cooper, panicking on what to get Poppy due to her being "the ultimate gift giver". Branch is worried about going too small and disappointing her or too big it would freak her out, with both being the end of their relationship which confuses the Funk Twins with his maths for a gift, but comes out saying he will make her a gift that saves time. He invents the first Troll hair-do'er, but has to now go to her place to get her head measurements without her knowing, causing the Twins to give concerned expressions at how creepy it sounds.

Meanwhile, Delta Dawn and Holly Darlin' are commenting on Poppy's gift to Branch. Branch sneaks behind Poppy and the two Country Trolls ask him what he is up to as Poppy talks. Branch sees a gift and asks if that is Poppy's gift, Holly interferes and says it's hers but Poppy did it up so pretty. Poppy steps in and says it is hers, then quickly whispers to the two Country Trolls to hide his actual gift while she distracts him. They say they have to go take care of their cats, which confuses him to ask when he got those. After they leave, they then reappear behind him and Poppy with a ladder and quickly cover up the name on the box. Branch says he came just to borrow wrapping paper and Poppy stuffs a handful to him and tries to rush him away. He gets out a camera and quickly snaps photos with a tape measure besides her head, before she can react. However, the last photograph snapped Holly and Delta rushing to cover up his name and he realizes that Poppy got his name.

Panicking that his gift won't be enough, he goes over the top and builds his machine, adding more and more functions constantly. The Funk Twins get worried and slowly build up a defense wall as parts fly everywhere. By the time he is finished, the machines build has gone overboard and the Twins worriedly build a bunker inside the bunker to protect themselves as Branch launches the machine. The machine explodes, sending him into space then back down to the village Tiny finds Branch on the ground. Branch believes he failed and tells him what happened. Tiny passes on the wisdom he just learnt and tells Branch to look through the clutter. At his bunker, Branch is cleaning up the mess he made. While he does, he finds the photograph of him and Poppy. Delta Dawn comments that Poppy knows how to get gifts that make people feel special and Poppy hopes it will.

During the evening, the gift swap begins. As Poppy asks Branch who he got, everyone gathers around to see who the pair got. They agree to mention it at the same time. They laugh when they realize they got each others' names. Branch explains he made something for her that blew him up into a tree. He presents her with a scrapbook "Poppy and Branch's Great Adventure", which details all the events up until that day. Poppy comments that he scrapbooked it for her. She finds the gift wonderful, as it's only something he could give her; everyone is now eager to see what Poppy got Branch.

When he opens the box, it turns out to be empty and while the others looked confused, Branch thinks the gift is invisible. Poppy confesses she couldn't think of anything. Poppy says she drew a blank because Branch is the coolest Troll in the world who is sweet, kind, cute and overly prepared for anything. Poppy and Branch hug as they realize they just need each other together. The other Trolls find the scene cute. Poppy asks for her ukulele and sings Together Now. During the song the other Trolls sing. As the song ends, the Clouds appear and snow on the Trolls. Branch tells everyone not to eat the snow as they don't know where it's coming from. Branch and Poppy go off in the balloon - no multitasking, with Poppy kissing Branch on the cheek.
