Smidge tried winning critter sled race by using a cake on a stick.

But, that attracted another critter.

And another.

And another.

And so on.

***

Back in the bunker, Branch tried to ice skate across the floor to the elevator, but was not successful.

He ended up tipping over book shelves, running into T.P., and crashing into things.

***

Trollex was rolling a ginormous snowball up a hill.

He said as he kept rolling it up, "Think you're un-snowball-able? Let's see you dodge the biggest snowball of all time!"

He cackled.

Then, he asked himself, "Am I going too far?"

But, he answered, "Nope. Totally justified."

***

Smidge had one last chance to win in a bobsled race.

She decided to use her hair to slingshot herself to victory.

***

Branch used a snowboard across the floor and finally made it.

But, the latch was frozen stiff.

He realized he would have to climb his way up.

So, he grab some mountain climbing gear and got to work.

***

Finally, Trollex was able to get the snowball on top of the hill.

"Can't get away now, Mom and Dad!"

However,

"Ah. The old giant snowball trick, huh?"

Phyto and Varuna were on the other side of the snowball.

Phyto said, "Just what we were expecting."

He then pressed it with his finger, "Boop."

The snowball started rolling in front of Trollex.

"No, no, no!"

But, he wasn't quick enough.

He was soon being carried down the hill by the snowball.

Smidge finally let go, but was caught by the snowball as well.

Both yelled and were launched into the air as the other Trolls watched with amazement.

Branch finally got out of the bunker, but saw the snowball coming right towards him.

"Well, that figures."

*Splat*

When they all gasped for air, Poppy asked, "Are you guys ok?"

Smidge said, "No! I didn't get my first place!"

Branch said, "I didn't get my first Snow Day!"

And Trollex said, "And I still couldn't beat my parents!"

Poppy said, "Well, it's not over yet. You are Trolls, and if you work together, you can still reach your Snow Day goals."

However, the sun came out and the snow quickly melted.

Poppy said, "Or not."

***

The medals were being handed out.

Meanwhile, Trollex, Branch, and Smidge were grumbling over not getting the Snow Day they wanted.

Branch said, "I just can't believe what I've been through to get here; I sledded down an elevator shaft, I boarded across my floor, I climbed a wall of ice, and I still didn't get to do one activity on my list."

Smidge and Trollex were confused.

Trollex asked, "Weren't those the activities on your list?"

Branch realized he was right and got his first Snow Day after all, "I love Snow Day!"

Smidge said, "Well, at least Branch got what he wanted."

However, a spotlight shined on Smidge.

King Quincy announced, "And first place for the long jump goes to...Smidge!"

Smidge was surprised, "Why me?"

Queen Essence explained, "When you flew off the ramp in that giant snowball, you shattered every long-jump record in the books!"

Smidge was thrilled, "I love Snow Day!"

Trollex also cheered for Smidge, then his parents came.

Varuna said, "That's what we like to see; Our little boy smiling."

Trollex replied, "Yeah. I guess this day didn't turn out that bad after all."

Phyto said, "Mm-hm. Because you learned that our silly goals can distract us from what's really important on Snow Day; Having fun with the people we love."

Trollex hugged his parents for a moment.

But, then said, "No...it's because of this."

Trollex pulled out a huge snowball from behind him and finally got his parents.

Both were surprised, "What the-? But-But how?"

Trollex answered, "Three cooling packs, old-timers! Wahoo! I win! I win! I win! I love Snow Day!"

Both smiled as Varuna said, "That's our boy."
