Holiday in Enchancia

"Holiday in Enchancia" is a special Christmas-themed Sofia the First episode that aired on December 1, 2013.

Plot
It's Sofia's first Wassailia at the castle and the moment she wakes up and sees it snowing outside, she immediately gets into the spirit through a song. Amber and James are looking forward to opening presents. When Sofia asks where Roland is Miranda tells her that Roland and Baileywick are out on urgent Royal business.

In town, it turns out the Roland's urgent Royal business is actually buying Amber, James and Sofia some last minute gifts. Meanwhile Sofia gives Minimus his gift, candied carrots, and discovers that all the flying horses except Minimus are sick. The Royal carriage gets caught in a blizzard on the way back to the castle and the spooked horses break away from the coach stranding Roland and Baileywick in the forest. Luckily, a woodsman comes by and offers them shelter which Roland, at Baileywick's urging, accepts.

Back at the castle, both Sofia and Miranda become worried because Roland should have been back by now. Miranda summons Constable Miles and asks him to prepare the Royal carriage. Since Minimus is the only flying horse that's not sick, he is hitched to the coach. Miles, Miranda, Amber, James, and Sofia take off to find Roland. What nobody notices is that Clover, Mia, and Robin are also on the coach because they want to help Sofia. They fly through the sky searching for Roland. They notice the King's Horses rampaging without the coach and realize that something must've happened to Roland. The blizzard becomes so fierce that they are forced to land. Sofia asks her mother and Miles "What do we do now?" and Miles tells the young princess they should get back in the coach and wait out the storm. Sofia is too worried about her father to comply but her mother tells her that Roland's fine but when Sofia asks her how she knows all Miranda can say is "I just know."

Sofia, who can't be satisfied with "I just know" as an answer, goes to Minimus and asks him what he thinks they should do but Minimus can't do anything in a crisis other than panic uncontrollably. Suddenly Sofia's amulet starts to glow. Knowing that this means a summoning is about to happen, Sofia heads into the forest so nobody can see it happen. She gets there just in time for the amulet to summon Princess Aurora. When Sofia asks if she has come to help, Aurora states that it's not her help she needs but Sofia insists that she does and tells her about her problem. Aurora tells her she can get all the help she needs from her animal friends and then vanishes. Sofia finally finds out the Clover, Mia, and Robin came with her. She asks them to tell the animals of the forest to look for her father. They all comply except Clover who'd rather "sit in the nice, warm, toasty sleigh with Sofia." The forest animals search everywhere for Roland and finally find him in the woodcutter's cottage lamenting that he can't spend Wassilia with his family.

Mia and Robin return and tell Sofia that they found Roland. Unfortunately, all Miranda, Amber and James can hear is chirping. Thinking quickly, Sofia, who knows she can't tell them what her bird friends are saying without revealing her secret, states "I think they're trying to tell us something." A confused Mia states "We're not trying! We just said it!" but Robin reminds her "Mia, they don't know she can talk to us." and tells Sofia to come outside. Sofia states "I think they know where Dad is" and hops out of the coach. Miranda, completely unaware of Sofia's powers and completely aware of the fact that her daughter has no regard for her own personal safety, panics and goes after her telling her "Sofia! Wait!" Miranda gets out of the coach and stops Sofia from going any further. She understands that Sofia wants to be with her father and so does she but as much as they all want to be together, Miranda thinks that due to the blizzard, it wouldn't be tonight and that as much as her daughter wants to believe it, she doesn't think her bird friends know where Roland is. But Sofia is able to prove that she's right with the Royal Flag and convince everyone to follow a white owl to the woodcutter's cottage where they all reunite with Roland. Roland tells them everything. Sofia, who already got what she wanted for Wassaila, gives the presents her father got for her to the woodcutter's children with her brother and sister following suit. They celebrate their reunion and Wassaila with a carol.
