In this ChristmasSpecial and second follow-up to Creator/DreamworksAnimation's ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', the Vikings of Berk are preparing to spend their first [[YouMeanXMas "Snoggletog"]] holiday with their new dragon friends... when said dragons all mysteriously fly away. Even Hiccup winds up mourning the loss of his new best friend after he builds Toothless a new tail that allows him to fly on his own. Best remembered for its emotional resolution.
