[[File:Ponyville's residents, participating in the Winter Wrap Up S01E11.png|thumb|300px|Ponyville's residents, participating in the Winter Wrap Up.]] '''Winter Wrap Up''' is an annual event in [[Ponyville]] that involves clearing winter and bringing in spring.

In [[Canterlot]], [[magic]] is used to end winter. However, because Ponyville was founded by [[Earth ponies]], they change the seasons from winter to spring without using magic. Even after [[unicorns]] started settling there, the tradition was continued.

All [[ponies]] are assigned to one of three [[#Teams|teams]]: [[#Weather Team|weather]], [[#Plant Team|plants]], or [[#Animal Team|animals]].

Vests are worn in [[Winter Wrap Up]] and flashbacks to it in [[The Return of Harmony Part 2]] and [[Magical Mystery Cure]] during Winter Wrap Up, in [[Luna Eclipsed]] during Nightmare Night, in {{comic|10}} during Summer Wrap-Up, in [[:File:Mystery pack set vorläufige Abbildung.jpg|a November 6, 2013 "vorläufige Abbildung" image]] for [[Toys#Mystery packs|mystery packs]], in [[My Little Pony (mobile game)]] from December 12, 2013 onward, in [[Trade Ya!]] during the [[Locations#Rainbow Falls|Rainbow Falls]] Traders Exchange, in a December 16, 2014 promotional image for a [[Wikipedia:Festival of Lights|Festival of Lights]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/photos/a.134316363252476.23944.118429394841173/1002562699761167/|title=Happy Festival of Lights, everypony!|publisher=Facebook|date=2014-12-16|accessdate=2017-08-24}}</ref> and in [[The Gift of the Maud Pie]].

===Weather Team===
[[File:Weather Team S1E11.png|thumb|250|The Weather Team.]]
:Vest: Blue

Composed mostly of [[Pegasi]], the weather team clears the sky of clouds and lets the sun warm up the land. Assigned ponies depart to retrieve the birds that have flown south for the winter. Several [[Earth ponies]] and a few [[unicorns]], [[Pinkie Pie]] being one of the former, are assigned as lake scorers, who cut the ice as they ice skate on it, making it easier to break and to melt when the sun comes out. [[Rainbow Dash]], sometimes [[Sprinkle Medley]], sometimes [[Sunshower Raindrops]], sometimes [[Rainbowshine]], and sometimes [[Cloud Kicker]] each wear a team leader's vest and band; [[Mayor Mare]] alludes to Rainbow Dash as a team leader.

===Plant Team===

:Vest: Green

Earth ponies from the plant team ensure that [[Ponyville]] will have enough food during the year. They move snow off the fields, plow them, and plant and water the seeds. The team also includes some unicorns and a small number of Pegasi. [[Applejack]] and sometimes [[Shoeshine]] each wear a team leader's vest and band; Mayor Mare alludes to Applejack as a team leader. [[Spike]] and Mayor Mare can also be seen helping out the plant team.

===Animal Team===

:Vest: Tan

The animal team mostly consists of Earth ponies and unicorns, but a small number of Pegasi, most notably [[Fluttershy]], are seen on the team. The team wakes up hibernating [[animals]], cleans up their dens, and ensures that they have food to eat. [[Rarity]] was put in charge of nest-making for the returning birds. [[Amethyst Star]] wears a team leader's vest and band; Mayor Mare alludes to Amethyst Star as a team leader. [[Big McIntosh]] can also be seen helping out the animal team.

===Organization===

In the namesake episode, the traditional methods had failed for the past few years for unspecified reasons. Arguments arose and inevitable mistakes turned into major problems due to a lack of planning and coordination. [[Twilight Sparkle]] lends her skills to the effort, helping Ponyville bring spring in on time, earning the title of All-Team Organizer, and a special vest comprising of the colors of each team.
