ABOUT
It's almost Hearth's Warming Eve, and the Apple family is busy at work preparing an array of tasty apple treats for all of Ponyville. But when a mysterious creature starts ruining their crop, Applejack sets out to find out who's behind this tomfoolery! Who, or what, is the SASS SQUASH? Then, when Twilight Sparkle and Spike get stuck in a snowstorm, Twilight reads some classic Equestrian holiday tales to pass the time, including The Flying Reindeer, The Toy and the Mouse, and 'Twas the Night Before Hearth's Warming Eve.
As Hearth's Warming Eve gets celebrated earlier and earlier every year, the Flim-Flam Brothers roll into town selling all manner of trinkets and the story of Windy the Windigo! But will Twilight and Applejack spoil everyone's holiday by chasing them out of town? Plus, when Rarity is invited to three parties on Hearth's Warming Eve--one in Manehattan, one in Canterlot, and one at home in Ponyville--she is loath to miss out on any of the fun and decides that instead of deciding, she'll just go to all three! In the final story, the Equestria Girls get in the holiday spirit by giving Sunset Shimmer the family she doesn’t have, but as secrets get out, Sunset may be left out in the cold!
Collects six holiday tales by writers Katie Cook, Bobby Curnow, Ted Anderson, and James Asmus with artists Brenda Hickey, Agnes Garbowska, Andy Price, Tony Fleecs, and Trish Forstner.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
