In The Age of Heroes, danger lurks around every corner for the protectors of Earth. Sometimes these heroes need time to celebrate the holidays together as a family. But this year, they have a new teammate who's never experienced a holiday. The Galactic Titans will have to show their new friend from Outworld the true meaning of Christmas.

Earth, December 20th, 2021. Titans Tower.

Raven, a young 14-year-old girl with paste white skin and black hair, walked out of her room in Titans Tower. She started skipping down the hall as she sang Jingle Bells.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells. Jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Hey!" Sang Raven.

Raven walked into the living room of the tower. She saw two of her friends carrying a large box into the room. One was Water Hazard, a red crustacean-like humanoid alien called an Orishan, and he had the unique ability to bend water. The other was Adrien, a young boy with blonde hair and a ring that turned him into the Miraculous hero Cat Noir.

"Come on, I feel like I'm doing all the lifting here." Said Water Hazard.

"Easy for you to say! You're way stronger than me!" Said Adrien.

"True. Just put your back into it." Said Water Hazard.

"What do you think I'm doing?!" Asked Adrien.

They got the box to the destination. After putting it down, Adrien sat on the floor.

"I need a minute. Oh man. Why did you guys get such a large tree?!" Said Adrien.

"Well, the ceiling is high enough for it, and we've got a large group of people living here." Said Water Hazard.

Water Hazard opened up the box to reveal the tree.

"I'm so excited for my second Christmas. We didn't have holidays on Kiusana." Said Water Hazard.

Raven walked up to Water Hazard and Adrien to look at the large tree.

"So I'm guessing it's time to put the tree up." Said Raven.

They looked and saw two more people walk into the room carrying smaller boxes. One was Duncan, a young man from Southside Chicago who wielded a powerful sword containing the Space Stone that allowed him to become Dagon. The other was Twilight Sparkle, an Equestrian from the planet Eques who wielded the Element of Magic which was really the Power Stone. Duncan and Twilight had been a couple since last year.

"Well, there's only five days till Christmas. We have to put the tree up sometime." Said Duncan.

"I've always loved decorating for the holidays." Said Twilight.

Adrien looked at Twilight confused.

"Aren't you an alien? You have Christmas on Eques?" Asked Adrien.

"Eques' culture was altered by The Light many years ago to match Earth's culture. While we don't have Christmas we do have Hearths Warming, which is basically the same holiday with a different name." Said Twilight.

Suddenly someone else walked into the room. She was Mileena, an Edenian-Tarkatan hybrid clone from Outworld. She had long black hair, reptilian-like eyes, massive sharp teeth, and no lips or skin over her teeth.

"Hi, Mileena!" Said Raven.

Mileena looked at the group and at the boxes.

"Why do you have a tree in a box?" Asked Mileena.

"It's a Christmas tree. We're going to put it up and decorate it." Said Raven.

"Christmas tree?" Asked Mileena.
