Trolls Holiday in Harmony
What's the Story?
TROLLS HOLIDAY IN HARMONY follows the trolls as they prepare for the first annual Trolls Kingdom Secret Holiday Gift Swap. Queen Poppy's attempt to spread holiday cheer and harmony takes a turn towards panic as she and Branch unknowingly draw each other's names. While Queen Poppy blissfully shares gift-spiration with others, and secretly wraps a larger than life present for Branch -- he's struggling to craft the perfect present for her. In the midst of Branch's chaotic concern about disappointing Queen Poppy with his gift, Tiny Diamond suffers from writers block and journeys through Trolls Kingdom to cure himself. With the holidays quickly approaching, will everyone be able to pick the perfect gift for their friend?
Is It Any Good?
This short and sweet holiday special has all the familiar good feels that the previous Trolls movies and specials bring. Trolls Holiday in Harmony features an upbeat soundtrack of familiar songs with a holiday twist, to spread cheer to all viewers. An enjoyable watch for the whole family, parents will likely giggle at funny hidden messages. Queen Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are the stars of the special, and continue to grow their care for one another. The eye catching, bright animation is as engaging as always, and Trolls fans won't be disappointed with this holiday treat.
