[Episode Title] Wintertime is Better With Friends.

[Upbeat music plays, runners scrape, feet thump]

DESCRIPTION: In the sky, a cloud smiles and snow falls. On the ice, a ship slides on sleigh runners. On the ship, a red-haired mini smiley, a blue-haired mini smiley, and a blond-haired mini smiley smile and look over the railing. A white-haired mini smiley holds the ship’s wheel, and snow falls. The ship slides beneath a rainbow and stops at an island. The mini smileys meet a husky dog and a blue bear, and jump off the ship.

[Song] Snow is falling and it’s cold outside, gonna grab my friends and take a ride. The frosty air and boots on my feet. There's so many friends I wanna meet. Ready, set, go, looking for some fun. I wanna play with everyone.

DESCRIPTION: Everyone walks past a Christmas tree with presents beneath it.

[Song] 'Cause wintertime is better with friends. Yeah, wintertime is better with friends. I don't want winter to end, I don't want winter to end ‘cause wintertime is better with friends.

[Chimes, snowball thumps]

DESCRIPTION: Nearby, a blue monkey stands on a rock and holds a snowball. The white-haired mini smiley touches a snowflake on their coat, and a snowball appears in the air in front of the monkey, hitting them in the chest. On a small island, the blond-haired mini smiley jumps on the back of the blue-haired mini smiley’s sled. They slide down a hill and jump off the sled at the bottom. The two mini smileys run on the snow, and the sled floats behind them.

[Song] A snowball fight, I say maybe two. I wanna jump on the sled with you, all together down a big snow hill. Laughing and riding, we took a spill. Ready, set, go, looking for some fun. I wanna play with everyone.

DESCRIPTION: The white-haired mini smiley, the blue-haired mini smiley, and the blond-haired mini smiley build a snowman. The white-haired mini smiley touches the snowflake on their coat, the blue-haired mini smiley touches a cloud on their coat, and the blond-haired mini smiley touches a smiling face on their coat. Magic flows to the snowman, and it comes to life. The mini smileys laugh. A second snowman with a bow on its head also comes to life.

[Song] 'Cause wintertime is better with friends. Yeah, wintertime is better with friends. I don't want winter to end. I don't want winter to end ‘cause wintertime is better with friends.

DESCRIPTION: Later, the crescent moon glows in the clear night sky full of stars. A penguin walks past the presents under the tree, carrying mugs on a tray on their head. The white-haired mini smiley stands while the other three sit around a snow-covered rock. The red-haired mini smiley plays a guitar. The blue-haired mini smiley touches the cloud on their coat, and the top of the rock warms. The mini smileys hold their cocoa cups, and the two snowmen arrive. The husky dog arrives, and the white-haired mini smiley pets them. The blue bear sits between the husky dog and the red-haired mini smiley. The red-haired mini smiley plays the guitar, and the penguin dances. The others bob their heads.

[Song] Later on, ready to snuggle up. I’m with my friends and a cocoa cup. By the fire, tell a story or two. I don’t feel the cold when I’m with you. Ready, set, go, looking for some fun. I wanna play with everyone 'cause wintertime is better with friends. Yeah, wintertime is better with friends. I don't want winter to end, I don't want winter to end ‘cause wintertime is better with friends.
