Anna's right. 00:54
Our surprise holiday party doesn't start 00:55

Oh, sorry. 00:59
The suspense is tearing me apart. 01:00
Thank you. 01:02
I'm excited, too, Olaf. 01:03
This is Arendelle's first Christmas in forever. 01:05
The first of many to come. 01:08
Elsa, look. 01:10
They're arriving. 01:11
(SINGING) Look at everyone 01:12
They don't realize-- 01:14
What? 01:15
(SINGING) We planned a party 01:16
As a big surprise 01:17
Soon the ballroom will echo 01:19
With sounds of cheer 01:21
As we ring in the season 01:23
This year 01:25
(SINGING) This is overdue 01:26
Gotta look our best 01:28
(SINGING) Ooh, I've never been 01:29
So nicely dressed 01:31
(SINGING) We'll be hosting and toasting 01:33
The whole night through 01:35
As we ring in the season 01:37
With you 01:39
(SINGING) It's the first Christmas in forever 01:40
(SINGING) Since we opened up the gate 01:43
(SINGING) And it's the first Christmas 01:46
I remember to date 01:49
(SINGING) And it's already worth the wait 01:50
Look at all the joy 01:56
- (SINGING) All the joy - (SINGING) It's everywhere 01:57
(SINGING) Everywhere 01:58
(SINGING) With the Christmas spirit in the air 01:59
(SINGING) and the party will start 02:02
At the strike of noon 02:04
And we'll ring in the season 02:06
So soon 02:09
Hey, it's Kristoff and Sven and the Yule Bell! 02:10
Why am I so excited about that? 02:16
Olaf, the Yule Bell signals the start 02:18
of the holidays in Arendelle. 02:20
Ooh! 02:21
(SINGING) And it's almost time 02:22
To ring the bell 02:26
We'll her it chime 02:29
Through Arendelle 02:31
(SINGING) It's finally here 02:34
And it's happening fast 02:36
(SINGING) We'll make up for all 02:37
We have missed in the past 02:39
(SINGING) It's time to celebrate 02:41
As we ring in the season 02:44
At last 02:50
Let the holidays begin. 02:57
OK, now/ 03:01
Surprise! 03:03
Uh oh. 03:06
Wait, wait, wait. 03:07
Hold on, hold on. 03:08
Going so soon. 03:09
The Yule Bell rang. 03:10
I must get home for my family's holiday tradition, 03:11
rolling the lefsa. 03:14
Ours is putting out porridge for the tomta. 03:14
Well-- 03:17
We're making traditional board stopple bopples. 03:17
And I'm gonna fillet the crumbs of the kringly kanka 03:19
That's a thing, right? 03:23
Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, you're welcome to join us in the castle 03:24
if you'd like. 03:28
Thank you, your majesty, but Olga 03:29
and I should be getting home to knit socks 03:31
for our grandchildren. 03:33
It's our tradition. 03:34
Yes. 03:36
And we wouldn't want to intrude on your family traditions. 03:37
Oh, so the surprise is everyone left. 03:42
Hey, I say it's their loss. 03:46
Who needs a big party anyway. 03:49
Kristoff? 03:51
I've got just the thing to cheer you up, 03:51
my favorite traditional troll. 03:53
Tradition, care to join in? 03:56
Uh, yeah. 03:58
OK. 03:59
It starts with a gathering song, "The Ballad of Flemmingrad." 04:00
I love ballads! 04:04
(SINGING) Every December we all gather 'round 04:05
To pay our respects to a troll so renowned 04:09
In remembrance of the friend we had 04:12
A jolly old soul we called Flemmingrad 04:16
Tempo. 04:18
(SINGING) We all dig deep down 04:19
And we uproot the past 04:20
We shove up its nostrils 04:22
A fistful of grass 04:24
Nostrils? 04:25
(SINGING) We shape his likeness 04:26
Bless his soul. 04:29
04:30
[SCREAMING] 04:32
Whoa, gross! 04:33
(SINGING) Oh, Flemmy the fungus troll 04:34
(SPEAKING) Now you lick his forehead and make a wish. 04:42
[SLURPING] 04:45
Who's next? 04:46
Elsa, you're up. 04:46
[GULPING] 04:47
Come on. 04:48
Tastes like lichen. 04:49
You're a princess. 04:50
You don't have to settle. 04:52
OK, not so much a royal activity. 04:53
I get it, but wait until you taste 04:55
my traditional Flemmy stew. 04:57
It may smell like wet fur, but it's a real crowd pleaser. 05:00
Oh, thanks. We're good. 05:03
Big breakfast. 05:04
[NERVOUS CHUCKLING] 05:05
Whew! 05:07
I can't wait. 05:08
For what, Olaf? 05:09
For your family tradition. 05:10
What is it? 05:12
Tell me, tell me, tell me. 05:13
[MUSIC PLAYING] 05:15
Do we have any traditions, Elsa? 05:16
Do you remember? 05:21
05:21
Well, I remember-- 05:25
(SINGING) IT was long ago 05:28
They would ring the bell 05:31
We could hear it chime 05:34
Through Arendelle 05:37
I remember the way that I felt back then 05:40
We would ring in the season 05:45
We would ring in the season 05:50
But the Yule Bell was for the kingdom. 05:58
What about us? 06:02
After the gates were closed, we were never together. 06:04
Elsa. 06:09
I'm sorry, Anna. 06:11
It's my fault we don't have a family tradition. 06:13
Wait, Elsa. 06:15
06:16
[WHIMPERING] 06:23
06:24
Sven, Anna and Elsa don't have a family tradition! 06:28
[MOANING] 06:31
I know it's sad, but I have a solution. 06:32
We'll go and find the best tradition 06:36
Anna and Elsa have ever seen and bring it back to the castle! 06:37
Are you with me! 06:40

Oh, we make candy canes together. 07:08
Ooh. 07:10
[GIGGLING] Sugar rush. 07:12
You're supposed to eat it. 07:15
Eat my new nose? 07:16
Why would I do that? 07:18
Because it's that time of year. 07:19
Hmm. 07:22
It's that time of year. 07:23

Oh! 10:37
[MUSIC PLAYING] 10:38
Enjoying the Christmas Fest, inquisitive magic snowman? 10:40
Oh, yeah. 10:44
Nothing like taking your coals off once in a while, 10:46
you know what I mean? 10:48
My troubles are just melting away. 10:49
In retrospect, the holiday sweats 10:53
are for those not made of snow. 10:56
[CHUCKLING] 10:58
[GLASS BREAKING] 10:59
Ooh, I feel so refreshed. 11:00
Am I glowing? 11:02
[RUMBLING] 11:03
Here's a sauna for your friends. 11:04
Thank you, Mr. Wandering Oaken. 11:06
Oh, one last thing. 11:08
Would it be possible to get one of those awkwardly revealing 11:09
yet tastefully traditional towels your family is 11:11
so fond of wearing? 11:14
Take mine, yeah. 11:15
Ooh, still warm. 11:17

Anna? 12:47
[KNOCKING] 12:48
12:51
[GASPING] 12:56
Hi, Elsa. 12:57
Oh. 12:59
Anna. 12:59
What you doing up here? 13:00
Looking for traditions. 13:01
Whew! 13:02
[CHUCKLING] 13:03
And what are you wearing? 13:04
My old Viking helmet. 13:06
And this was my sorcerer's cloak. 13:08
Dragon feet. 13:11
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. 13:12
I found them in my old trunk. 13:13
What's in yours? 13:15
Oh, mostly gloves. 13:16
Right, rows and rows of satin gloves. 13:17
Oh. 13:22
Yep. 13:23
Welcome to my world. 13:24
Wait, who's this little guy? 13:25
Oh, Sir Jorgen Bjorgen. 13:27
[MUSIC PLAYING] 13:30
He was a really good listener. 13:31
13:32
Anna, how are we going to find any traditions up here? 13:36
13:39
Unless-- 13:43
What's that? 13:44
Look inside. 13:46
13:47
[GASPING] 13:50
OK, Sven, not gonna sugarcoat it. 13:52
This is a bit of a setback. 13:55
[LOWING] 13:57
Ooh, maybe this is salvageable. 13:57
No definitely not Oh, parts of this are still good I think. 14:00
[CRACKING] Oh, no, this is unsafe now. 14:03
Hey, the fruitcake! 14:06
These things are indestructible. 14:08
I'll just take this seemingly harmless shortcut here and meet 14:11
you back at the castle, OK. 14:14
[HOWLING] 14:16
Oh, puppy! 14:18
[GROWLING] 14:20
Oh, boy. 14:21
Ow! 14:22
I'm just gonna go now. 14:22
[MUSIC PLAYING] 14:24
14:27
Sven, the Flemmy stew is ready. 14:31
Anna and Elsa are gonna love this. 14:34
[GROANING] 14:36
Oh, Kristoff, you're so thoughtful. 14:36
Now where's my bowl? 14:39
Hey, simmer down, buddy. 14:41
Here you go. 14:42
Oh, what are you-- 14:45
oh, of course. 14:48
[GRUNTING] 14:49
Needs more carrots. 14:50
Can't get enough of them, can you? 14:51
[MUSIC PLAYING] 14:54
14:57
Oh, no. 15:06
Olaf's lost in the forest-- 15:07
And being chased by hungry wolves? 15:08
[GROWLING] 15:10
Yeah, obviously. 15:11
Ring the bell. 15:12
Gather everyone. 15:13
Come on, Sven. 15:16
Make yourself useful. 15:18
Olaf needs our help. 15:19
[BELL RINGING] 15:20
[LABORED BREATHING] 15:22
Please I know you're hungry, but I need at least one 15:25
tradition for my best friends. 15:29
The fate of the world depends on it. 15:31
[SCREAMING] 15:34
15:37
Yes, yes, I did it. 15:41
A tradition is saved! 15:43
[SCREECHING] 15:46
15:49
[MUSIC PLAYING] 15:53
Well, I-- I guess hawks need traditions, too. 15:57
15:59
(SINGING) Happy merry holly jolly 16:02
Tidings of good cheer 16:08
I never meant to let them down 16:12
At that time of year 16:16
(SPEAKING) Maybe I should just stay lost. 16:25
16:27
[WHIMPERING] 16:31
16:34
[WIND RUSHING] 16:35
[MUSIC PLAYING] 16:38
16:41
ANNA: Olaf! 17:00
SVEN: Olaf, where are you! 17:01
[CHATTER] 17:03
Any sign of him? 17:04
No. 17:06
Olaf! 17:07
Olaf! 17:08
Olaf, where are you? 17:09
He's not here. 17:12
[GASPING] 17:15
Oh 17:16
Hmm, I wonder where he went. 17:17
Well, he probably went on a mission 17:21
to find traditions for Anna and Elsa. 17:23
Oh. 17:25
And did he find any. 17:26
He did. 17:28
But then they caught fire and fell off a cliff. 17:29
And then they caught fire again. 17:33
And then a hawk took them. 17:36
I'm sorry. 17:40
You still don't have a tradition. 17:41
But we do, Olaf. 17:43
Look. 17:45
17:46
[GASPING] 17:48
Wait. 17:49
Is that-- 17:52
ELSA: Anna made these years ago when we first made you. 17:53
You are the one who brought us together and kept us 17:59
connected when we were apart. 18:03
[KNOCKING] 18:05
18:08
ANNA: Every Christmas-- 18:11
[KNOCKING] 18:12
I made Elsa a gift. 18:14
All those long years alone-- 18:17
[KNOCKING] 18:19
We had you to remind us of our childhood, of how much 18:21
we still loved each other. 18:26
ELSA: It's you, Olaf. 18:29
You are our tradition. 18:32
Me? 18:33
Surprise. 18:35
Oh. 18:36
(SINGING) Sure it's nice to open a gift 18:38
That's tied up with a perfect bow 18:42
(SINGING) But the greatest present of all 18:45
Was given to me long ago 18:49
(SINGING) It's something I would never trade 18:52
It's the family that we've made 18:56
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together 18:59
I have everything on my list 19:03
(SINGING) And when we're together 19:06
I have all I wished 19:10
(SINGING) All around the Christmas tree 19:13
There'll be dreams 19:17
Coming true 19:19
(SINGING) But when we're together 19:19
Then my favorite gift 19:24
Is you 19:28
[GIGGLING] 19:31
(SINGING) I would travel miles and miles 19:34
And I would follow any star 19:37
I'd go almost any place 19:41
If it's any place you are 19:44
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together 19:47
(SINGING) we're together 19:49
(SINGING) I'll forever feel at home 19:50
And when we're together 19:54
(SINGING) When we're together 19:55
(SINGING) We'll be safe 19:57
(SINGING) Safe and warm 19:58
(SINGING) Doesn't matter where we are 20:00
When you're there with me 20:05
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together 20:06
That's my favorite place 20:10
To be 20:13
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together 20:19
(SINGING) Together 20:22
(SINGING) It's a holiday every night 20:23
And when we're together 20:26
(SINGING) Then the season's bright 20:29
(SINGING) I don't need the bells to ring. 20:33
(SINGING) I don't need the bells 20:36
(SINGING) I'll know when it's here 20:37
(SINGING) I'll know when it's here 20:39
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together 20:42
(SINGING) I could stay forever 20:47
And when we're together 20:51
(SINGING) It's my favorite 20:54
Time of year 20:59
Well, I think Arendelle has a new tradition. 21:11
Thank you, Olaf. 21:15
[SCREECHING] 21:16
The fruitcake! 21:18
It's a Christmas miracle! 21:20

Surprise!
Not yet, Olaf.
Surprise!
Not yet, Olaf.
Surprise!
Not yet, Olaf.
...
Wow.
Hello.
Surprise!
Olaf, not yet.
Anna's right.
Our surprise holiday party doesn't start
until after the yule bell rings
Oh, sorry.
The suspense is tearing me apart.
Thank you.
I'm excited, too, Olaf.
This is Arendelle's first Christmas in forever.
The first of many to come.
Elsa, look.
They're arriving.
(SINGING) Look at everyone
They don't realize--
What?
(SINGING) We planned a party
As a big surprise
Soon the ballroom will echo
With sounds of cheer
As we ring in the season
This year
(SINGING) This is overdue
Gotta look our best
(SINGING) Ooh, I've never been
So nicely dressed
(SINGING) We'll be hosting and toasting
The whole night through
As we ring in the season
With you
(SINGING) It's the first Christmas in forever
(SINGING) Since we opened up the gate
(SINGING) And it's the first Christmas
I remember to date
(SINGING) And it's already worth the wait
Look at all the joy
- (SINGING) All the joy - (SINGING) It's everywhere
(SINGING) Everywhere
(SINGING) With the Christmas spirit in the air
(SINGING) and the party will start
At the strike of noon
And we'll ring in the season
So soon
Hey, it's Kristoff and Sven and the Yule Bell!
Why am I so excited about that?
Olaf, the Yule Bell signals the start
of the holidays in Arendelle.
Ooh!
(SINGING) And it's almost time
To ring the bell
We'll her it chime
Through Arendelle
(SINGING) It's finally here
And it's happening fast
(SINGING) We'll make up for all
We have missed in the past
(SINGING) It's time to celebrate
As we ring in the season
At last
Let the holidays begin.
OK, now/
Surprise!
Uh oh.
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on, hold on.
Going so soon.
The Yule Bell rang.
I must get home for my family's holiday tradition,
rolling the lefsa.
Ours is putting out porridge for the tomta.
Well--
We're making traditional board stopple bopples.
And I'm gonna fillet the crumbs of the kringly kanka
That's a thing, right?
Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, you're welcome to join us in the castle
if you'd like.
Thank you, your majesty, but Olga
and I should be getting home to knit socks
for our grandchildren.
It's our tradition.
Yes.
And we wouldn't want to intrude on your family traditions.
Oh, so the surprise is everyone left.
Hey, I say it's their loss.
Who needs a big party anyway.
Kristoff?
I've got just the thing to cheer you up,
my favorite traditional troll.
Tradition, care to join in?
Uh, yeah.
OK.
It starts with a gathering song, "The Ballad of Flemmingrad."
I love ballads!
(SINGING) Every December we all gather 'round
To pay our respects to a troll so renowned
In remembrance of the friend we had
A jolly old soul we called Flemmingrad
Tempo.
(SINGING) We all dig deep down
And we uproot the past
We shove up its nostrils
A fistful of grass
Nostrils?
(SINGING) We shape his likeness
Bless his soul.
...
[SCREAMING]
Whoa, gross!
(SINGING) Oh, Flemmy the fungus troll
(SPEAKING) Now you lick his forehead and make a wish.
[SLURPING]
Who's next?
Elsa, you're up.
[GULPING]
Come on.
Tastes like lichen.
You're a princess.
You don't have to settle.
OK, not so much a royal activity.
I get it, but wait until you taste
my traditional Flemmy stew.
It may smell like wet fur, but it's a real crowd pleaser.
Oh, thanks. We're good.
Big breakfast.
[NERVOUS CHUCKLING]
Whew!
I can't wait.
For what, Olaf?
For your family tradition.
What is it?
Tell me, tell me, tell me.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Do we have any traditions, Elsa?
Do you remember?
...
Well, I remember--
(SINGING) IT was long ago
They would ring the bell
We could hear it chime
Through Arendelle
I remember the way that I felt back then
We would ring in the season
We would ring in the season
But the Yule Bell was for the kingdom.
What about us?
After the gates were closed, we were never together.
Elsa.
I'm sorry, Anna.
It's my fault we don't have a family tradition.
Wait, Elsa.
...
[WHIMPERING]
...
Sven, Anna and Elsa don't have a family tradition!
[MOANING]
I know it's sad, but I have a solution.
We'll go and find the best tradition
Anna and Elsa have ever seen and bring it back to the castle!
Are you with me!
[SMACKING]
Ow!
Let's go find their tradition!
...
House number 1.
Wow, festive.
[KNOCKING]
WOMAN: Coming.
Good afternoon, I am Olaf and--
Hey, Olaf.
Please let me finish-- and I like warm hugs.
This is my associate, Sven.
We're going door to door looking for family traditions.
Tell us yours and we'll decide if it's special enough.
Oh, we make candy canes together.
Ooh.
[GIGGLING] Sugar rush.
You're supposed to eat it.
Eat my new nose?
Why would I do that?
Because it's that time of year.
Hmm.
It's that time of year.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
...
[CLEARING THROAT]
(SINGING) Happy merry holly. jolly seasons greetings here
I'm wondering what your family does
At that time of year
Love and joy and peace on Earth
And tidings of good cheer
Do you have tradition things
For that time of year
(SINGING) Well, we hang up boughs of evergreen
On every single doorway
(SINGING) Bake a giant cookie
In the wavy shape of Norway
(SINGING) Go from door to door to door
Wassailing with our choir
(SINGING) Hang up all your giant socks
Above an open fire
(SPEAKING) That sounds safe.
(SINGING) So happy merry yuletide carol
Faithful friends are dear
Thanks for sharing what you do
At that time of year
(SPEAKING) We better get a move on if we're going to hit
every house in the kingdom.
[WHINNYING]
(SINGING) Jolly merry happy holly
On a midnight clear
I'm here to ask you what you do
At that time of year
Hi, hello, happy solstice, fancy chandelier
I'm looking for tradition stuff
For that time of year
(SINGING) Well, we make our decorations
Out of flotsam and jetsam
(SINGING) Bake a yummy fruitcake
And you can't leave
'Til you get some
That went right through me.
(SINGING) Buy each other presents
And then hide them very nimbly
(SINGING) Wait up for a chubby man
To shimmy down your chimney
(SPEAKING) Breaking and entering OK on Christmas.
(SINGING) Oh, happy merry yuletide barrels
Faithful gladsome cheer
Thanks for sharing what you do
At that time of year
(SPEAKING) Thank you.
[BLOWING CLARINET]
(SINGING) We knit scarves and sweaters
And we wear our matching mittens
(SINGING) Don't forget the jammies
That I knitted for my kittens
(SINGING) eight nights in a row
We light menorahs on our mantels
You cut down a tree, and then you
dress its corpse with candles.
...
I love it!
...
(SINGING) Anna and Elsa
Will have all that they need
I'll fill my sleigh here
With the help of my steed
It'll be the best time of year
(SINGING) It's up to you
(SINGING) Up to me, me, me
Up to--
[MEOWING]
Oh happy merry Mele Kaliki
Holly jolly happy tappy
Chunky man will soon appear
And faithful friends are tiny deer
And festive tidings
Midnight clear and--
(SPEAKING) Can I leave this fruitcake here?
(SINGING) At that time of year
[MEOWING]
[KNOCKING]
(SPEAKING) Last house, Sven.
Something tells me this will be the best tradition yet.
[SOFT YODELING]
Hello.
And what does your family do at that time of year?
Oh!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Enjoying the Christmas Fest, inquisitive magic snowman?
Oh, yeah.
Nothing like taking your coals off once in a while,
you know what I mean?
My troubles are just melting away.
In retrospect, the holiday sweats
are for those not made of snow.
[CHUCKLING]
[GLASS BREAKING]
Ooh, I feel so refreshed.
Am I glowing?
[RUMBLING]
Here's a sauna for your friends.
Thank you, Mr. Wandering Oaken.
Oh, one last thing.
Would it be possible to get one of those awkwardly revealing
yet tastefully traditional towels your family is
so fond of wearing?
Take mine, yeah.
Ooh, still warm.
(SINGING) Dashing through the snow
With traditions in our sleigh
Back to the castle we go
To save this holiday
Ho, ho, ho
Our plan has zero flaws
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I see nothing going wrong
[SCREAMING]
Woo.
Crisis averted.
...
[WHISTLING]
...
Ooh, look.
Another reindeer going the opposite direction.
Hi!
[SNORTING]
[LOWING]
...
Wow, we're making really good time.
[GROANING]
[LOWING]
...
[GASPING]
...
Hey, the fire's out.
[EXPLOSION]
Oh, darn it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
...
[KNOCKING]
Anna, I owe you an apology for earlier.
Anna?
[KNOCKING]
...
[GASPING]
Hi, Elsa.
Oh.
Anna.
What you doing up here?
Looking for traditions.
Whew!
[CHUCKLING]
And what are you wearing?
My old Viking helmet.
And this was my sorcerer's cloak.
Dragon feet.
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
I found them in my old trunk.
What's in yours?
Oh, mostly gloves.
Right, rows and rows of satin gloves.
Oh.
Yep.
Welcome to my world.
Wait, who's this little guy?
Oh, Sir Jorgen Bjorgen.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
He was a really good listener.
...
Anna, how are we going to find any traditions up here?
...
Unless--
What's that?
Look inside.
...
[GASPING]
OK, Sven, not gonna sugarcoat it.
This is a bit of a setback.
[LOWING]
Ooh, maybe this is salvageable.
No definitely not Oh, parts of this are still good I think.
[CRACKING] Oh, no, this is unsafe now.
Hey, the fruitcake!
These things are indestructible.
I'll just take this seemingly harmless shortcut here and meet
you back at the castle, OK.
[HOWLING]
Oh, puppy!
[GROWLING]
Oh, boy.
Ow!
I'm just gonna go now.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
...
Sven, the Flemmy stew is ready.
Anna and Elsa are gonna love this.
[GROANING]
Oh, Kristoff, you're so thoughtful.
Now where's my bowl?
Hey, simmer down, buddy.
Here you go.
Oh, what are you--
oh, of course.
[GRUNTING]
Needs more carrots.
Can't get enough of them, can you?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
...
Oh, no.
Olaf's lost in the forest--
And being chased by hungry wolves?
[GROWLING]
Yeah, obviously.
Ring the bell.
Gather everyone.
Come on, Sven.
Make yourself useful.
Olaf needs our help.
[BELL RINGING]
[LABORED BREATHING]
Please I know you're hungry, but I need at least one
tradition for my best friends.
The fate of the world depends on it.
[SCREAMING]
...
Yes, yes, I did it.
A tradition is saved!
[SCREECHING]
...
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, I-- I guess hawks need traditions, too.
...
(SINGING) Happy merry holly jolly
Tidings of good cheer
I never meant to let them down
At that time of year
(SPEAKING) Maybe I should just stay lost.
...
[WHIMPERING]
...
[WIND RUSHING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
...
ANNA: Olaf!
SVEN: Olaf, where are you!
[CHATTER]
Any sign of him?
No.
Olaf!
Olaf!
Olaf, where are you?
He's not here.
[GASPING]
Oh
Hmm, I wonder where he went.
Well, he probably went on a mission
to find traditions for Anna and Elsa.
Oh.
And did he find any.
He did.
But then they caught fire and fell off a cliff.
And then they caught fire again.
And then a hawk took them.
I'm sorry.
You still don't have a tradition.
But we do, Olaf.
Look.
...
[GASPING]
Wait.
Is that--
ELSA: Anna made these years ago when we first made you.
You are the one who brought us together and kept us
connected when we were apart.
[KNOCKING]
...
ANNA: Every Christmas--
[KNOCKING]
I made Elsa a gift.
All those long years alone--
[KNOCKING]
We had you to remind us of our childhood, of how much
we still loved each other.
ELSA: It's you, Olaf.
You are our tradition.
Me?
Surprise.
Oh.
(SINGING) Sure it's nice to open a gift
That's tied up with a perfect bow
(SINGING) But the greatest present of all
Was given to me long ago
(SINGING) It's something I would never trade
It's the family that we've made
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together
I have everything on my list
(SINGING) And when we're together
I have all I wished
(SINGING) All around the Christmas tree
There'll be dreams
Coming true
(SINGING) But when we're together
Then my favorite gift
Is you
[GIGGLING]
(SINGING) I would travel miles and miles
And I would follow any star
I'd go almost any place
If it's any place you are
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together
(SINGING) we're together
(SINGING) I'll forever feel at home
And when we're together
(SINGING) When we're together
(SINGING) We'll be safe
(SINGING) Safe and warm
(SINGING) Doesn't matter where we are
When you're there with me
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together
That's my favorite place
To be
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together
(SINGING) Together
(SINGING) It's a holiday every night
And when we're together
(SINGING) Then the season's bright
(SINGING) I don't need the bells to ring.
(SINGING) I don't need the bells
(SINGING) I'll know when it's here
(SINGING) I'll know when it's here
(SINGING) 'Cause when we're together
(SINGING) I could stay forever
And when we're together
(SINGING) It's my favorite
Time of year
Well, I think Arendelle has a new tradition.
Thank you, Olaf.
[SCREECHING]
The fruitcake!
It's a Christmas miracle!
