"Stump Day" is the first segment of the Christmas-themed episode of the Disney XD animated series Star vs. the Forces of Evil, produced as the first segment in the fourteenth episode of the show's third season. It premiered alongside its partner episode, "Holiday Spellcial" on December 2, 2017. The episode begins on Mewni, where everyone is celebrating a wintertime holiday called Stump Day. King River tells the story of the first Stump Day. Long ago, a small group of seafaring explorers crashed their ships on Mewni during a cold winter night. After weeks of traveling together, disagreements arose between them, and they planned on going their separate ways when a harsh blizzard suddenly struck. In order to survive, the group huddled together around a giant tree stump to keep warm and share supplies. A strong bond of friendship was forged between them, and they commemorated the occasion by carving their initials into the back of the stump. Thus, Mewmans come together each year to honor the stump for a full 24 hours "or else". Star spends the whole day happily honoring the holiday with her loved ones while Marco appears to be planning something. That night, Marco comes to her room to ask for help in closing a window downstairs. However, this turns out to be a ruse to lure Star to her 15th birthday party, since her birthday falls on the same day as Stump Day. While Star's friends are thrilled to celebrate her birthday, Star herself is horrified because Stump Day is meant to honor the Stump exclusively. (more)
