In "Chewie's Holiday Cheer Up," the Wookie's friends plan a Life Day surprise for their pal. Following that, the High Republic era-set "Tenoo Treasures" sees Yoda recruiting Padawans Kai and Lys Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures) for some wreath building. And then we wrap things up with "'Twas the Night Before Life Day," telling the tale of a white bantha game on the Death Star that might just be heavily tilted in the Emperor's favor.
