-Now, about Rainbow Dash and....yep, Discord. He plays a part of this plot just to annoy a little bit Rainbow, or maybe helping her to find the best gift for Fluttershy? Sure, he knows her the best but as you would expect from him, a bit of chaos is guaranteed with him,with a good heart despite its looks. Surprisingly enough, Discord delivers his own character without putting the viewer in a painful cringy watch like other times. He shows a supportive personality from The Breakup Breakdown and a playful side like in Three´s A Crowd, pretty well balanced for spicing Rainbow´s arc. The winterzilla was the odd gift that accompanied the mane 6 in the end. By the way, the face from its evil side is the closest Halloween vibe that you are going to get from here.

-About Spike, he gets the Sparity treatment again, utterly obsessed for finding the Best Gift for Rarity and the paper that indicates that he has to give it to her, asking a AJ, Pinkie and Fluttershy and change it. So many things to give her, yet he gets tired and gets some sleep while creating his own personal one. His sparkly body serves as well to distract the winterzilla and starts the 2nd song for Rarity as his gift, delivering visual highlights that delight the viewer in the last couple of minutes, seeing how the secondary characters and species celebrate Heart´s Warming for the 8th anniversary.

-And the last member of the mane 6 and probably an unexpected arc that has the most Christmas feel good vibe: Rarity and the hat dedicated for AJ. One doesn´t simply voice two iconic characters for advancing the plot after so many years. Yes, Tabitha voices both Derpy and Rarity for the package mess up from the flawed post office. The magic of Christmas is felt when she visit that poor family. Pistachio receives the gift by mistake and Rarity shows her generosity moment right there. One personal standout is that Pistachio mentioned that Rarity was too famous to give such a gift to someone who is nothing in comparison to her. He felt like a nobody and claimed that Rarity (along with her friends) has become an idol for the rest of Equestria. That visit felt like a dream come true for him. Now if /mlp/ had that visit.I am sure we would get the same reaction as him (with different purposes though)
