Biggie has been picked this year to host Funsgiving dinner, but is worried that it won't be perfect.

Poppy has her friends gathered to decide who gets to host Funsgiving. Smidge starts to explain to Branch that Trolls all over the village gather to have a feast. Branch claims that while he is used to them explaining things to him, he already knows what Funsgiving is. Guy Diamond then starts explaining to him that the holiday is the one day of the year they get to play with their food. Branch tells them to stop patronizing him. Biggie then steps in to explain what food is and Branch states he is not a child and he jumps on Poppy's bed and tosses the blanket over himself. The Trolls then begin to reflect on past Funsgivings and how fun the event is.
Poppy has decided to pick this host with a game of "Spin the Fuzzbert". Fuzzbert appears and spins on the floor and stops at Biggie. He has never gotten to host before and he can't believe it. Poppy even has gotten their traditional main course: a Diced Fruit, the largest 6-sider that Smidge has ever seen. Biggie is given a heap of recipes by his friends. Poppy tells Biggie it is okay if he can't make every dish, but Biggie wants to make this the perfect Funsgiving ever. Upon this statement, he goes to explain what Funsgiving is to Branch, who protests and ducks under the cover again.
Biggie starts with 12 hours before dinner begins. He wants to make every minute count, but after making 1 single éclair chair, he realizes he lost six hours to a single chair. Branch and Poppy appear to check everything is alright, and Biggie tells them that he has stricken for time. Poppy and Branch then begin a motivational song to keep his spirits high.
A montage later, Biggie has everything ready and places the final piece: the Diced Fruit. He isn't satisfied with the fruit's position on the table, and while trying to center it, the display stand breaks and it flies off the table, getting damaged in the process. Biggie repeats an old saying about not having a good diced fruit for Funsgiving and Branch dismisses that other Trolls say that, but Poppy notes they do say that but shouldn't. Biggie tosses away the fruit and wants to find another on Funsgiving despite Poppy saying it's impossible on Funsgiving to get one. The other Trolls turn up for the feast and Biggie tells Poppy and Branch to delay things while he finds another fruit. Branch and Poppy wing it and Branch states that Biggie asked them to play a quick round of charades. They agree as long as it's just one round, but Branch's first work is 19 syllables long.
In the Troll Village marketplace, Biggie is going from stall to stall looking for fruit, but not even Rufus has one. An old Troll on a stall mishears what he asks for and though Biggie would normally find it cute, it is not helpful to him at all. But this does lead him to a play where the last Diced Fruit was taken for use by the children in their re-enactment of the origin of the holiday.
At the play, Biggie realizes he simply has to grab the fruit and run as soon as it is over but the group wants to list all 100 food-related ideas; King Peppy dreamed about it before he came up with the perfect holiday food. Biggie enters the stage and tries to speed up the play by pretending to be a character in it named "The Spirit of Funsgiving", and steals the Diced Fruit.
Biggie is rushing back to his dinner as the friends get fed up with charades. They compliment Biggie's dinner and Poppy acknowledges how he pulled it off. As he goes to tell the others to dig in before there is anymore surprises, Keith pops open the Diced Fruit, as it turns out it was used for his costume. Biggie confesses to messing up with the Fruit and how he tries to replace it. He apologizes for ruining Funsgiving, but then the others begin to make confessions on their own holiday mishaps.
After all the talk, Smidge gets impatient and just wants to get on with playing with their food. The episode ends with Keith trying to explain to Branch what Funsgiving is as he hits him with a plate of food.

*The Snack Pack try to explain Funsgiving to Branch, only for him to react negatively to it. This is because quite often in past episodes, Branch has been used as a means to deliver explanatory dialogue to the viewer; Branch is re-learning what it means to be a Troll in the series. Thus, this episode isn't only poking fun at Branch, but also the series itself. His reaction to being told what Fungiving is ("I'm not a child!") is also a note to the target audience of the series being children.
*Funsgiving is a play on the real-life holiday "Thanksgiving".
*The situation with the Diced Fruit is based on the real-life problem of finding a Turkey to eat in time on Thanksgiving. Due to high demand and desperation caused by panicking buyers, Turkey meat becomes extremely hard to find in the days up until and on Thanksgiving.
*"Dinkles Dumplings" is a joke as it implies Biggie as serving Mr. Dinkles' poop, hence the Snack Packs reactions when Biggie suggests it.
