9/10
Much better than the last one!

I know what you're thinking. "A Christmas Carol" adaptation has been done too many times to list, but they actually do something different here. It's actually Twilight reading a story to Starlit Glimmer that shows the Christmas Carol story. It's great how they use the actual holiday for themselves, Hearth's Warming Eve. I will admit that it's pretty weird how they aired this in May. It's nowhere near Christmas! This is still certainly worth checking out. I am quite surprised Twilight didn't appear as the Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come, or in the story at all! It was a true delight when Princess Luna appeared in probably one of her best roles yet.

I was disappointed that there was no Marley character in this. It's still a faithful retelling. There were some comics that were done like this. It was retellings of stories with the Mane 6 in the roles. The setup is great and the animation is as wonderful as ever. It's great to see all the characters singing in the first two minutes. Really early Christmas present? ***1/2 out of ****.
