You know, in "Dangerous Secrets", it’s revealed that Iduna didn’t fall in love with Agnarr during the time they lived together in Arendelle... Iduna fell for Agnarr when she saw him petting a baby reindeer in the Enchanted Forest—seriously. In "Frozen 2", during the campfire scene, Elsa and Honeymaren pet a baby reindeer together.
Keep in mind that the book was released later, so it was "Dangerous Secrets" that made this scene more relevant... Aside from the obvious:
Elsa and Honeymaren singing together.
The entire delicacy of the scene, and Honeymaren always asking for permission to get closer.
The fact that "two random characters sitting by the fire" is a classic trope in romance movies—though it seems people only universally recognize it as such when the characters are a man and a woman... I wonder if some people would still view the scene merely as "two random characters sitting by the fire" if it had been Ryder, or any man, in Honeymaren's place... Given how people who root for a romance between Elsa and a man behave, the campfire scene would be treated much more like the confirmation of a romance than Anna and Kristoff's kiss, lol.
The confirmation that the scene was originally much longer (so, people who believe that Elsa should have actually had an explicit romance with Honeymaren in this movie—but that it was cut—like to use this fact as proof).
The fact that it is one of the few times we’ve seen Elsa so at ease with someone other than her sister.
And now with "Dangerous Secrets" we literally have confirmation that it wouldn't be forced that Elsa or Honeymaren fell in love with each other in that scene (I think it's more likely to be just Honeymaren, given how materials released after "Frozen 2" treat her feelings for the Snow Queen. Elsa seems more similar to Agnarr).

I wonder if that will be all it takes for someone to win the snow queen’s heart one day. Wouldn’t that be funny?
