3 | In this ChristmasSpecial and second follow-up to Creator/DreamworksAnimation's ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', the Vikings of Berk are preparing to spend their first [[YouMeanXMas "Snoggletog"]] holiday with their new dragon friends... when said dragons all mysteriously fly away. Even Hiccup winds up mourning the loss of his new best friend after he builds Toothless a new tail that allows him to fly on his own. Best remembered for its emotional resolution. |

12 | * ChristmasEpisode: See YouMeanXmas. |

19 | -->'''Snotlout:''' You can really taste the yak. |
20 | * MadeOfExplodium: [[spoiler:Hatching dragon eggs]] explode rather violently. The adult dragons offset this by pushing them into pools of water. |
21 | * MindControlEyes: All the dragons' eyes shrink as they leave for an inexplicable mass migration, reacting almost similarly to when they were controlled by the Green Death. Even Toothless gets them suddenly [[spoiler:even though he was only flying away to find Hiccup's helmet.]] |

34 | * TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The DVD cover gives away the [[spoiler:baby dragon reveal.]] |
