Poppy is in her pod receiving a lot of complaints about problems. Holly Darlin' and Guy Diamond arrive and ask what the problem is. They ask what the issue is and Poppy explains that since the opening of TrollsTopia, they have had problems with keeping of all the new holidays and tradition and they have had to combine them all - they now have too many holidays. Holly asks how having more holidays is a problem and Poppy explains that they have had issues keeping track of them all. That morning, Biggie had thought it was the Hard Rock Tribe's "Opposite Day" and gone into Rock Hollow greeting them with negative greetings, only to upset them because it wasn't Opposite Day. Guy notes it sounds like TrollsTopia needs a special calendar to track all the holidays. Poppy confirms this and notes in fact that is why they are here. It is being designed as they speak. Poppy needs it to catch on and that it needs to be big and bold. Since Guy and Holly are the most stylist Trolls she asks them to take the photos that will be used in the calendar. Poppy states she needs them 1 week from now and reminds them that the calendar is their 1 shot at getting this "holidaze" sorted.
Synth is waterskiing on water as Holly and Guy capture him, trying to capture a classic summer shot. Holly takes the photo and notes it is so good, but Guy says there is only one thing to do with a shot like that and Holly proceeds to rip it up. Tiny asks why Holly ripped it up, and the dup explains they are not looking for "good" their looking for "exceptional" as the calendar has to catch on. Guy tells Synth their doing it again but this time it has to be exceptional, Synth soon finds he is balancing other Techno Trolls on his shoulders as they go for a more epic shot. Holly takes a picture, but though it is not bad, Guy wants to do a big jump. They lead the Techno Trolls to a ramp leading to a flaming hoop, much to the screams of terror for the Techno Trolls.
Minuet and Demo are sweeping up leaves for an autumn shot. Guy adds more leaves until the duo are buried, they ask if it is alright as they can't even see their faces. From up high Holly is in a balloon, it turns out Guy made their faces out of the leaves.
At Country Corral, Gust Tumbleweed and DJ Suki are waiting for a photo to be taken of them. Holly explains when they let off the fireworks they need to hug and that the hug needs to be exceptional. They dislike the hug and keep getting the two to retake the photo each time making the hug more and more intense. They finally get the hug right, but forget the fireworks.
A montage begins with Holly and Guy taking photos of Trolls while singing, each photo they take retake until its epic.
At Poppy's pod, she is going through the photos. She is happy with them and says they are exceptional. But there is one photo left, she asks where "Glee-cember" is. They have an epic winter photo planned for this and they saved for last. They ask her to imagine a trio of Trolls knee-deep in a drift of snow behind an epic ice castle while eating snow cones. Holly notes that all they have to do is wait 11 months for winter. Poppy notes the calendar can't wait and they need the photo now. That morning Biggie had gone to apologize for his earlier mix-up and had accidentally apologized on the Hard Rock Trolls actual holiday "Opposite Day", upsetting the Rock Trolls again. She asks them to work within their limitations and come up with something else simpler and get it to her by tomorrow.
Elsewhere, Tiny tells them it is time to come up with something simpler, but Guy won't have any of it. Guy notes they can still take their snow photo IF they don't wait for snow to come to them. Holly points to a near-by mountain and Tiny is afraid of what Holly is imply. As they climb, Guy note they need the picture by tomorrow and their running out of sunlight. a montage of them climbing the mountain begins, including meeting a snow-monster. They finally reach the top and make their castle. The sun is setting, so they set the timer. As they do, one of the flags for the castle slips and Guy puts it back in place quickly. It keeps falling and eventually Guy's attempt to correct it results in cracks that destroy the castle. The photo then takes and they have run out of daylight to take any more with. They rush to the photo and to their dismay, the photo is just of them with snow cones and nothing else. The snow monster also returns.
They hand the photo to Poppy disappointed in themselves for a lacking photo. Poppy is still satisfied as the photo shows everything TrollsTopia stands for - friends standing together enjoying themselves and that makes it her favorite. As they celebrate, the snow monster appears and they run away. The monster picks up the last photo and finds it enjoyable.

*The title is based on "Ready, set, go!" which are the commands given to runners as they are about to start a race.
*This episode's plot is an opposing plot from the Trolls: The Beat Goes On! episode "Blank Day", wherein the Pop Trolls had a free day where nothing was going on causing chaos. In this episode in contrast, there are now too many holidays for the Trolls to keep track of.
*The last winter in Troll Forest that happened was seen in "The Fun Harvest". This means that episode happened about one month prior to this episode.
*As mentioned in the Troll calendar, "Glee-cember" is a portmanteau between "glee" and "December".
*Guy was shown to know what it takes to take a good photo in "Funtography Day". Meanwhile, one of the first things Holly did upon arriving in TrollsTopia is take a selfie with Poppy. Both Guy and Holly also equally like to go big and bold when it comes to ideas.
