Plot
Sofia arrives in the Secret Library, having been summoned there by her amulet, The Library selects the story called The Tale of Miss Nettle, to the horror of Sofia who wonders what Miss Nettle's up to now. She gets her answer when the book goes inside the pendulem and the Library Narrator tells her the story: ''In a far-off land so cold and wintery that the land is always coveredin a thick blanket of snow known as the Kingdom of Freezenburg there were no flowers for many years. So the King sent the Royal Gardener on a quest to find a flower strong enough to grow in Freezenburg's frigid climate. The Gardener later came back with such a flower: The Snowdrop. The King and his subjexts loved the Snowdrop so much that they had it planted all over the Kingdom  and hold the Winter Flower Festival every year to celebrate. The Winter Flower Festival will take place that night but Miss Nettle is stealing all the Snowdrops. If she succeds, not only will the Winter Flower Festival be ruined but the Kingdom of Freezenburg will never have flowers again.'' Hearing this, Sofia resolves to stop Miss Nettle and give this story a happy ending.

Sofia arrives in Freezenburg in a crystalline sleigh pulled by Minimus and finds Miss Nettle taking Snowdrops in a forest. Sofia enlists the forest animals to help her stop Miss Nettle. The Animals and Sofia swoop in with the latter grabbing the bag of stolen Snowdrops. Miss Nettle is not pleased to see her "least favorite meddling Princess" and asks Sofia Why must she always gets in her way. Sofia retorts to why she has to cause so many problems, and Miss Nettle tells her she is merely taking back what is hers. Sofia states that the flowers belong to the People of Freezenburg, to which Miss Nettle bites back that the Snowdrops belong to her. Miss Nettle sprays Sofia with Crazy Crystals and flies away with the bag of stolen Snowdrops. Sofia finds that she can't understand the animals anymore and realizes that the Crazy Crystals have corrupted the magic of her amulet due to remembering how they fouled up Cedric's wand during her last run in with Miss Nettle. Suddenly, Sofia's amulet starts to glow and Sofia recognizes it as a summoning. Sofia looks around for a Princess but only finds a talking snowman who scares her to the point where she kicks his head off. After Sofia helps him get his head back on his shoulders, the snowman introduces himself as Olaf. Sofia introduces herself and Minimus, who Olaf calls a purple reindeer with wings and no antlers. When Olaf asks her what she's looking for, Sofia tells him she's looking for a Princess. However, upon hearing about how he was with Anna in Arendelle and when Olaf asks where he is, Sofia realizes that the amulet summoned Olaf instead of a Princess and explains that her amulet usually summons Princess to give her advice. Olaf tells her that he can give advise but his "advise" is just "Do not get too close to fire." which Sofia, of course, does not find even the least bit helpful. Sofia realizes that she now has to stop Miss Nettle and fix her amulet so Olaf can go home. Olaf tells her that he and "the purple antleerless reindeer" will help her out. Together, they take off to find Miss Nettle.

During the sleigh ride, Olaf's nose falls off and he dives after it. He lands on a Snowdrop and rolls into a Freezenburgian village. When Sofia lands in the village, she finds a bunch of snowmen built by the village kids and only finds Olaf after he reveals himself. Sofia confides in Olaf her belief that she can't stop Miss Nettle without her powers. Olaf tells her how Elsa struggled with her Ice magic and finally learned to control them because Anna helped her do so by never giving up and having a big heart, which he states is better than any magic. Princess Hildegard appears and is surprised to find Sofia and especially Olaf. Hildegard tells Sofia that her father is cancelling the Winter Flower Festival because the only Snowdrops left are at Freezenburg Castle. Sofia tells Hildegard that Miss nettle is the one taking the Snowdrops and takes off to Freezenburg Castle.

When they arrive at Freezenburg Castle, they find that Miss nettle is already there and already taking the flowers. Olaf dives out of the sleigh to stop her. He lands on her in a way that enables Sofia to land safely. Sofia informs Miss nettle how much the People of Freezenburg love the Snowdrop and Miss Nettle informs Sofia that she created the Snowdrop and that the Royal Gardener of Freezenburg stole it from her. Sympathetic, Sofia urges Miss Nettle to leave some flowers but Miss Nettle refuses and traps Sofia in vines. After a pep talk with Olaf, Sofia realizes that she needs to make a happy ending for everyone including Miss Nettle. After Olaf frees her from the vines, Sofia meets up with Hildegard and her father King Henrik and tells them Miss Nettle's reason for taking the Snowdrops. After a Snowdrop is found on Olaf's butt, Sofia comes up with a plan to bring Miss Nettle and the Snowdrops back and flies off to execute it.

When Sofia finds Miss Nettle, she uses the last Snowdrop to bring Miss Nettle back to Freezenburg Castle. Once there, King Henrik thanks Miss Nettle for making the Snowdrop and asks her if they can be renamed Nettledrops in her honor. Miss Nettle agrees and thanks Sofia by undoing the effects of the Crazy Crystals, restoring Sofia's powers. Sofia thanks Olaf for everything and gives him a hug. Olaf heads back to Arendelle and Sofia heads back to the Secret Library, where she put a Nettledrop in the story she just finished.
