Holly Jolly

About this board game

Holly Jolly is a Christmas-themed game for 2–4 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Released in 2021, it invites players to gather around a Christmas tree and collect ornaments, gifts, and stockings.

At the center of the playing area, cards are arranged to form a tree, with presents placed below it. On each turn, players choose and place either a light card or a tinsel card onto the tree.

Your selection value comes from the point total of all cards on the tree matching the type you just placed. Use that value to choose an ornament hanging on the tree or select a present or stocking from beneath it. Each collected item can contribute points in a variety of ways.

• Choose between light and tinsel cards.
• Build the shared Christmas tree with your card placements.
• Use the matching card total as your selection value.
• Collect ornaments, presents, and stockings that score points in different ways.

The central tree creates a clear focus as players add cards and weigh their available selections. Every placement helps develop the display while determining which festive item can be collected next.

With its accessible holiday theme and compact play time, Holly Jolly offers a cheerful tabletop experience for friends and family. Build the tree, select your treasures, and discover how your ornaments, gifts, and stockings add to your final score.
