Speaker Dialogue
Princess Sofia Oh! What's this? A present for me?
Clover Ta-da! It's the gift that keeps on giving. Happy Wassailia, Sofia. It's me.
Princess Sofia Happy Wassailia, Clover. What a great present. Oh, that reminds me. I made a gift for Mr. Cedric. It's a case for his wand. It took me a really long time to make. Can you help me with the wrapping?
Clover Sure, kid.
Princess Sofia Oh, I hope Mr. Cedric likes this.
Cedric the Sorcerer Wassailia this, Wassailia that. I have had enough of Wassailia. All that fuss and bother, and for what? A lot of gushy, sentimental songs. And then, I'll be presented with some useless token of a gift. "Oh, Mr. Cedric, here's another ill-fitting sweater." Or, the worst, our kingdom's best sorcerer mug. Oh, I'm so tired of getting common, ordinary gifts. I wish, just once, someone will give me a gift worthy of a royal sorcerer. Something special.
Princess Sofia Maybe my gift isn't special enough.
Clover Are you kidding? You made that for him.
Princess Sofia I need to find a better gift.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, well, I suppose it's time to light the decorations. Now where is my family wand? Always goes missing when I need it. Oh! Thank you, Wormy. Now, let's go make this castle unbearably merry.
Princess Sofia There must be a more magical gift I can get Mr. Cedric.
Clover You could get him some sorcery lessons.
Baileywick Oh, this won't do at all.
Princess Sofia What's wrong, Baileywick?
Baileywick I just wish my decorations were a bit more impressive this year. One Wassailia, we filled the entire castle with Ice Lilies.
Princess Sofia What are Ice Lilies?
Baileywick Magical flowers that give off a lovely glow. They used to grow in the Icicle Forest every winter, but no one has seen any in years. Oh, well. Violet, let's visit the greenhouse and get more blooms.
Princess Sofia Magic flowers? That sounds like the perfect gift to get Mr. Cedric. Oh, if only we knew where to find them.
Clover Hey, I know a guy. Well, technically, a fox. And he knows the forest like the back of his hand. If they're out there, he can find them.
Princess Sofia Great!
Princess Amber Where are you going, Sofia?
Princess Sofia To get a last-minute present for Mr. Cedric.
Queen Miranda Well, just make sure you're back by the time we light the Wassailia candle tonight.
Princess Sofia See you soon.
Clover Whiskers! Hey, Whiskers, it's me, Clover. Huh. Where is he? I... I know he lives around here somewhere. You, Whiskers.
Whiskers Looking for me? Well, if it isn't my old pal, Clover. I haven't seen you since you took off to live the cushy life up at the castle. What brings you back here, buddy?
Clover Well, uh, my friend, Sofia, needs your help.
Whiskers Ah, the princess who talks to animals.
Princess Sofia How do you know?
Whiskers A little birdie told me.
Princess Sofia Well, uh, Clover says you might know where to find some Ice Lilies.
Whiskers Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Yeah. Okay, thanks. Word in the woods is there's an ice lily patch in the Icicle Forest.
Princess Sofia Could you show us, Mr. Whiskers?
Whiskers It's kind of a hike. You sure you're up for it?
Princess Sofia Hmm, pretty sure.
Whiskers I was talking to "earmuffs" here. You look like you've been up in that castle too long, Clover. You forget how it is out in the woods with the real wildlife?
Clover No, I just have sensitive ears.
Whiskers Yeah, whatever you say. Let's go get those Ice Lilies, Princess.
Princess Sofia Thanks.
Whiskers You're welcome. But I was talking to Clover.
Clover Hey!
Whiskers This is it. The Icicle Forest.
Clover Why couldn't we have gone to the warm and sunshine-y forest?
Princess Sofia Huh. Do you hear that? Where's it coming from? What is she?
Whiskers She's a faun. But they don't usually hang out in this part of the forest.
Winter Oh, hi there. I hope I wasn't bothering you, I can keep it down. Or just stop.
Princess Sofia No, don't stop. It's beautiful.
Winter Really? Oh, okay. Oh, I know an even better tune. How's this?
Princess Sofia That was so pretty.
Winter Hey, you look just like a princess. Oh, you probably are one, aren't you? I mean, why else would you be wearing a tiara and poofy gown? Oh, I'm talking a lot. Sorry, I do that. My name is Winter. Like the season.
Princess Sofia I'm Sofia.
Winter No, stay away!
Clover Whoa!
Princess Sofia Did you do that?
Winter Uh-huh. Everything I touch turns to ice.
Princess Sofia That's amazing.
Winter No, it's awful. When I say everything I touch gets covered in ice, I mean everything. I even had to leave my family because I kept forgetting and trying to hug them. I've been gone a long time and I really miss them.
Princess Sofia Have you always been like this?
Winter Oh, no. It was a year ago today when I got the ice touch. There was this witch...
Whiskers Glacia the Mountain Witch?
Winter Yes, how do you know?
Clover That's his thing.
Winter Well, anyway, every year on Wassailia, Glacia does spells for people, but only if you bring her a gift, so I gathered all the wood crystals I could find, which took me weeks, because, you know, they're wood crystals. I had heard about this princess who could freeze anything just with a touch and I thought, "Oh, that's a cool power." Well, I always wanted to have magical powers because, you know, I'm pretty ordinary, and I thought it would be so neat to be special. So I took my wood crystals and I climbed up to Glacia's palace. There she was, sitting on her throne. I gave her my gift, and she used her magic to give me the ice touch. I thought it would be so great, being able to cover anything with sparkling ice. But then my pet goldfinch, Feathers, tried landing on my hand. And that's when I realized that the ice touch was really a curse. I went back and begged Glacia to take it away, but she said I had to come back next Wassailia with another gift.
Princess Sofia So you've been waiting all this time to go back?
Winter And looking for the most special gift I could think of, Ice Lilies. But I haven't been able to find any.
Princess Sofia We're on our way to get some ice lilies right now.
Winter You are?
Princess Sofia Why don't you come with us?
Winter Okay. No, wait, I can't.
Princess Sofia Why not?
Winter 'Cause if I touch you, you'll turn into one big ice cube. And I can't let that happen.
Princess Sofia Oh, don't worry, Winter. We just won't get too close.
Winter You promise?
Clover Yeah, you don't have to tell me twice.
Princess Sofia Come on.
Whiskers There it is. The Ice Lilies are on that island.
Princess Sofia But how are we going to get over there?
Whiskers Swim, I guess.
Clover Swim?
Whiskers Aw, is it too cold for the castle bunny?
Clover You kidding? A tough wild rabbit like me isn't afraid of a little cold water. Let's go swimming. Cold, cold, cold!
Winter I know a way to get us across. Come on. This is magical ice. It won't break and it's super-sparkly.
Clover Hey, hey! Hey! It's like I'm skating.
Princess Sofia Yeah!
Clover Whoo-hoo. Hey, watch this, triple Lutz. Whoo. All right. And now, where are those Ice Lilies at?
Princess Sofia Let's spread out and start looking. Are you sure this is where the Ice Lilies are supposed to be, Mr. Whiskers?
Clover Guess your little birdies aren't so smart after all.
Whiskers Hey, my little birdies don't lie.
Clover Well, we've been all over the island, and no Ice Lilies.
Princess Sofia I was really hoping to get Mr. Cedric a special gift. And help you get rid of your ice touch, Winter.
Winter You know what I do whenever I feel down?
Princess Sofia What? Hey. I think there's something up in that tree.
Winter Ice Lilies!
Princess Sofia We found them!
Clover Now we just need to get them.
Whiskers This is a job for a real wild animal.
Clover Yeah, me.
Princess Sofia Careful, Clover.
Whiskers You wouldn't want to get your dainty castle paws all dirty.
Clover Uh-huh. Coming through, 'fraidy fox. Oh... Uh-huh, uh-huh. Hey, catch, Sofia.
Princess Sofia Thanks, Clover!
Clover Hey, could a castle bunny climb an icy tree this fast? I don't think so. See those lilies way up there? Watch this. Uh-huh. Whoa!
Princess Sofia Clover!
Winter I got you! No!
Princess Sofia Clover!
Winter Oh! I told you this would happen. It always happens.
Princess Sofia It was an accident, Winter. Is there any way to melt the ice?
Winter It's enchanted ice. Only Glacia the Mountain Witch can melt it.
Princess Sofia Then we've got to get to her palace right away. We'll bring her the Ice Lilies and ask her to free Clover.
Whiskers I'm going, too. I got you into this, old buddy, and I'm gonna get you out of it.
Princess Sofia What if Glacia doesn't help us?
Winter Then Clover will be stuck in this ice forever.
Princess Sofia How much longer is it going to take?
Winter We're almost there.
Princess Sofia Hang on, Clover!
Whiskers Think warm thoughts, buddy.
Clover Hot chocolate, mashed potatoes, tomato soup...
Glacia Who dares enter my domain without so much as a knock on the door?
Winter Pardon us, Your Witchiness, but there is no door.
Glacia Oh, that's right. I had it removed. The palace wasn't drafty enough. I remember Miss Frosty Fingers, but who are you?
Princess Sofia Princess Sofia, Your Majesty.
Glacia A princess? Really? Well, you certainly have a high opinion of yourself, don't you? Why have you come here?
Winter I've come to ask you to remove my ice touch.
Glacia And what have you brought me in exchange?
Princess Sofia These Ice Lilies.
Glacia Oh, Ice Lilies. You can put them in the vase with the other Ice Lilies if you like. But you're going to have to get a much better gift if you want my help.
Winter Another gift? I'll never find another gift before the end of the day.
Glacia Then I'll see you next Wassailia.
Winter I can't spend another year like this.
Princess Sofia Winter... Do you see how upset you made her?
Glacia She's the one who asked for the power in the first place.
Princess Sofia Can't you just undo it?
Glacia No.
Princess Sofia Why not?
Glacia I'm in a bad mood.
Whiskers And how long is this bad mood of yours gonna last?
Glacia Why don't you check back in a few centuries? Bye-bye now. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Oh, that's right. I had the door removed. Hoo-hoo.
Princess Sofia Winter? Winter? Winter, where are you? I'm so sorry, Clover.
Clover Oh, I see a... I see a light. Is it princess time?
Tiana Oh, sounds like somebody's got the blues. I'm Tiana. And if what Mama Odie told me was right, then I'm here to help you. So what's troubling you, Sofia?
Princess Sofia Well, if we don't come up with a special gift to give the Mountain Witch, then Winter will have to spend another year all alone, and Clover will be stuck inside this ice.
Tiana Oh, that does sound like a rough day.
Clover Tell me about it.
Princess Sofia There's not enough time to find another special gift.
Tiana Are you sure, Sofia? The gift I'm giving my family this year is a special meal I'm cooking just for them, made with a whole lot of love. You see, when it comes to finding the perfect gift...

♪ It doesn't matter if it's large or small
It doesn't matter what the color is at all
A gift you'd find inside a store high on a shelf
Or something simple that you made all by yourself

It could be plainly wrapped or trimmed with silver bows
A huge bouquet or a single rose
What matters from the start
The most important part
A gift should come from the heart

The smallest gift can seem just like a dream come true
And why it's special is because it comes from you

What makes the difference is the feeling and the thought
For that's a gift that can't be bought
What matters from the start
The most important part
The gift should come from your heart ♪

Princess Sofia I understand, but how can Winter find a gift like that before sundown?
Tiana Well, she may already have the gift she needs, Sofia. My cooking is my gift. Is there something special that Winter can do?
Princess Sofia There is something she can do. Thank you, Tiana. Winter, I know what gift you should give Glacia.
Winter You should stay away from me.
Princess Sofia But I know what to do. You already have the perfect gift for Glacia.
Winter I do?
Princess Sofia Your music. It's so beautiful. And it cheered us up when we were feeling down.
Winter My music? Do you really think that's special enough?
Princess Sofia I do.
Glacia Back so soon? Oh, this should be good. You brought another gift?
Princess Sofia We did.
Glacia Well, let's have it.
Princess Sofia Go on.
Glacia Ha. Ooh.
Princess Sofia Huh?
Glacia Oh, there goes my back.
Winter Are you okay?
Glacia Okay? I haven't felt this good in a long time. I mean, how would you feel if people only came to see you when they wanted something?
Princess Sofia Not good, I guess.
Glacia All I ever get in return is a lot of meaningless trinkets. This is the first time I was given something truly special. So thank you for that. I will grant your wish.
Winter Really?
Princess Sofia Yes.
Winter Oh!
Glacia Spirits of winter, heed my call. Remove this ice touch, once and for all.
Winter Ah!
Glacia It's done. Now you're just as ordinary as you were before.
Winter Do you know what this means, Sofia?
Whiskers Uh-uh, uh-uh.
Clover Sorry to interrupt the hug-fest, but in case you haven't noticed, I'm still frozen in a block of ice.
Princess Sofia Would you mind unfreezing my friend, too?
Glacia Oh, why not? All those whom this faun hath frozen shall now be set free.
Clover Whoo. Thanks, Mountain Witch. I say we hop out of here while the hopping's good.
Winter Feathers. You're back.
Whiskers Got to admit, I was wrong about you, Clover. You are one tough rabbit.
Clover Nah, I was just too cold to cry.
Whiskers Sorry about all that "castle bunny" stuff. I was just upset.
Clover Yeah? Why?
Whiskers 'Cause we used to be best buds. And when you went off to the castle, you didn't come around anymore. Guess I kind of missed you.
Clover I missed you too, Whiskers. But we can still be pals.
Whiskers Yeah?
Clover Of course. Hey, why don't you come back with us for Wassailia dinner?
Princess Sofia Wassailia dinner. I told my mom I'd be back home in time to light the candle. But it's so late. How will we make it back in time?
Whiskers Relax, Princess. I got this.
Reindeer Hey, someone need a lift?
Clover You really do have connections.
Winter Don't forget these. For your special gift.
Princess Sofia Oh, right. Do you want to come with us?
Winter I wish I could. But I've got to get home and see my mom and my dad and my seven brothers and my three sisters and my twenty-six cousins...
Clover You're gonna have a lot of hugging to do.
Winter I know. I can't wait.
Princess Sofia Take care, Winter.
Winter Happy Wassailia, Sofia.
The Royal Family of Enchancia Happy Wassailia!
King Roland II Now, let's open those presents.
Princess Amber Oh! Just what I wanted! Oh. Thank you.
King Roland II You're very welcome, Amber.
Prince James Brilliant!
Princess Sofia Baileywick... these are for you.
Baileywick Ice Lilies. They're even lovelier than I remembered. Thank you, Princess Sofia.
Princess Sofia I have something for you, Mr. Cedric.
Cedric the Sorcerer Of course you do, Princess Sofia. It's a wand case.
Princess Sofia I know it's not magical, but I made it myself.
Cedric the Sorcerer I'll never lose my wand again. This is the best present I have ever gotten. Ever. I have a gift for you as well, Sofia.
Princess Sofia You do? I love it when it snows on Wassailia!
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, so do I, Princess Sofia.
Princess Sofia Happy holidays, Mr. Cedric.
Cedric the Sorcerer Hmm. Yes, well, it is happy, isn't it?
