YMMV / My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (IDW) Holidays 2017

• Hilarious in Hindsight: Twilight specifically says "Is it just me, or does it seem like ponies get ready for the holiday earlier and earlier every year?". And when does My Little Pony: Best Gift Ever premiere? 4 days before Halloween (or Nightmare Night using the MLP term).
• Informed Wrongness: Applejack and Twilight Sparkle are meant to be in the wrong for distrusting and sabotaging the Flim-Flam brothers' for once-legit scheme to monetize Hearth's Warming at the expense of everyone else who was enjoying it. But the brothers have been involved in many truly malicious schemes (especially in the comics continuity) as Applejack points out, which can make them the only ones giving the brothers an appropriate amount of trust, or lack thereof. Twilight in particular has a perfectly legitimate reason for keeping Spike from getting too much Windy merchandise: his growth from greed. Given Spike was getting obsessed over Flim and Flam's goods rather quickly, it's not hard to see Twilight's actions as a pre-emptive action to keep Spike from repeating another growth incident.
