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.

7	* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:The point of the film, from the dragons' side.]]
8	* BadLiar: Fishlegs.
9	* ChekhovsGun:
10	** Meatlug nearly crashes into a wrecked viking ship while flying away from Berk. Hiccup and the dragons use it near the end [[spoiler:when they need to transport a bunch of baby dragons.]]
11	** The ship Gobber managed to wreck in ''Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon'', no less.
12	* ChristmasEpisode: See YouMeanXmas.
13	* CutenessProximity: Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Snotlout immediately say "awwww!" after seeing [[spoiler:the adorable baby Gronkle]] that lands on Fishlegs as Astrid has an OhCrap moment in the background.
14	* DelayedReaction: Hiccup has this response when he discovers that [[spoiler:Toothless has brought his helmet back to him at the end.]]
15	* GenkiGirl: Astrid seems to be developing into this.
16	* GilliganCut: Hiccup says it's a good thing that the [[spoiler:the explosive eggs won't hatch on Berk.]] Guess what happens next.
17	* TheGlomp: [[spoiler: When Meatlug comes back to Berk with her babies and the other dragons, Fishlegs tackles her with a big hug]].
18	* LethalChef: Astrid invents a revolting new holiday drink called "yaknog."
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.]]

28	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: [[spoiler:The baby dragons are ''adorable.'' The baby Gronkels are probably the best examples, due to their round, chubby bodies and disproportionately large eyes.]]

30	* SurpriseLitterOfPuppies: Turns out the dragons all left to lay their eggs. Too bad the Hooligan tribe did not know that when they suddenly leave without warning.
31	* TemptingFate: After Hiccup is ''literally sent flying'' by an [[MadeOfExplodium exploding Gronkle egg]] he says this:
32	--> '''Hiccup:''' Man, it's a good thing those don’t hatch on Berk!
33	--> ''(Cue GilliganCut to Berk exploding due to planted dragon eggs.)''
34	* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The DVD cover gives away the [[spoiler:baby dragon reveal.]]
35	* YouMeanXmas: The Vikings call it "Snoggletog."[[note]]The real-life name for the Winter Solstice festivity -- still in use in Scandinavia and parts of Scotland -- was Yule[[/note]] Hiccup [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] what a stupid name it is during his introductory narration.
