How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming is the second Christmas Episode of DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon franchise. When it becomes clear that the new generation of Vikings doesn't remember the bond between dragon and human, Hiccup sets a plan to celebrate dragons with a grand Snoggletog holiday pageant and gets a heartwarming surprise visit from Toothless for one more adventure.

Like Father, Like Son: Zephyr is shown to be mechanically inclined like Hiccup. Nuffink is shown to have a rough and tumble personality not unlike Astrid.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Sending the dragons away to the Hidden World does not resolve the issue of them being misunderstood by humans, and in some ways it actively worsens it. Despite Hiccup's attempts to pass on his positive view of the dragons, Berk's future generations are not able to see first hand what wonderful creatures they are, and they start to become superstitious and fearful of them just as their ancestors were. Zephyr, Hiccup's own daughter, adamantly refuses to believe that dragons are anything other than dangerous monsters, and doesn't change her mind until she sees a dragon face-to-face.

comment
Broken Aesop: A retroactive one for How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. In that film, Hiccup decides dragons and Vikings should be separate for their safety, and the dragons can return when humans "deserve" them. This is meant to be about a hard, loving choice made for the greater good. But in this short, the next generation of Vikings have grown fearful and superstitious of dragons, specifically because of their absence. Hiccup tries to make a pageant to convince them otherwise, but this ends up a near-disaster, and in the end, it only succeeds because Toothless returned. So the separation between Vikings and dragons is shown to be the wrong choice, which has deepened the divide, and only the dragons' return fixed that divide.

comment
Butt-Monkey: Hiccup is constantly hit by his daughter's dragon traps, gets reminded of what kind of a person he was like before the events of the films to the extent that his wife actually mistakes the person playing Hiccup as him, got Demoted to Extra in his very own play, has all his achievements credited to his father, and becomes trapped in the Toothless costume he himself invented. In the end, he gets some consolation when his play accomplishes what he wanted: to honor Stoick's memory and endear the next generation of Berkians to dragons.

Artistic License – History: In-Universe. Gobber's play takes heavy liberties with the story of how Hiccup tamed Toothless and brought peace between Berk and the dragons. Most notably, Hiccup himself isn’t the one to tame Toothless at all.

Kid Has a Point: In-spite of every adult's insistence to the contrary, Zephyr's fear of dragons is perfectly rational in a vacuum. They are giant, flying, sharp-toothed, fire-breathing animals that were technically responsible for her father's missing limb. Good thing she never asked who killed her grandfather...

Vanity Project: Hiccup has the idea of making a pageant that retells how the Hooligans made peace with the dragons, and asks Gobber to co-produce the show and write the script. Gobber winds up hijacking the show by making it all about him and his grief over Stoick, rewriting events so that it was Stoick who tamed Toothless, with Gobber even insisting that he himself play the lead-role.
