Astrid: Yaknog! Get your Yaknog! Come on! Get a frothy delicious cup of cheer!

Astrid comes upon her friends.

Astrid: Hey, you guys! Try this tasty new beverage I made for the holidays.

Tuffnut: Ugh! What's that smell? Is that you? [shoves Ruffnut]

Astrid: It's Yaknog!

Tuffnut coughs, disgusted.

Tuffnut: Ugh! If I drink that I'm gonna yak nog all over the place!

Astrid: Maybe you'd rather taste a punch in the face?

Ruffnut sniffs at the Yaknog, disgusted.

Snotlout: Astrid, it sounds delightful. I'd love a mug.

Snotlout grabs a mug and takes a big gulp, but immediately regrets it. He forces himself to swallow it because it tastes really bad.

Snotlout: You could really taste the yak!

Fishlegs: Mmm, yum! What is that?

Astrid: Oh! You wanna try some? It's my new traditional drink.

Snotlout stands behind Astrid, shaking his head with a look of warning on his face, and Fishlegs takes the hint that it's not for human consumption.

Fishlegs: Oh... You know... Ehm... I have... suddenly inexplicably changed my mind.

Astrid: Well, you don't know what you're missing. I bet Hiccup and Ester will love this.

Tuffnut: [whispers to Fishlegs] Highly doubt that...

Astrid runs off. Ruffnut notices Snotlout's discomfort.

Ruffnut: Are you crying?



[At Gobber's smithy]

Astrid: Hiccup? Ester?

Hiccup: Yeah, We're over here, Astrid. Coming!

Ester: One sec!

They come out from the smith and place something on the table.

Astrid: Here. Happy holidays, from me to you guys. Don't drink that one though. [points at a cup] Snotlout drank from it.

Hiccup: Thank you!

Ester: Thanks for the warning.

They both grab a cup, leaving one on the wooden plater.

Astrid: What are you guys up to that you needed to go inside the smith for, huh? [smirks]

Ester: Get your mind out of the gutter Astrid.

Hiccup: Okay, you're gonna think I'm crazy, but I just couldn't stop thinking about what Tuffnut said last night. Toothless can't come and go like the other dragons, and that's just not fair. I was up all night and I think I found a way to fix that.

Hiccup shows Astrid a new tail fin, and takes a sip of the Yaknog. Realizing how disgusting it tastes, he's unable to swallow. Ester notices this and slowly places her cup down.

Astrid: No way! You built him a new tail? So he's gonna be able to fly without you!

Hiccup: [With a mouth full of Yaknog] Hmhm!
