At least one was added in every course in the [[Winter Tour (2019)|2019]] and [[Winter Tour (2020)|2020 Winter]] Tours, as well as in the [[London Tour|London]], [[Holiday Tour (2019)|2019]] and [[Holiday Tour (2021)|2021 Holiday]], and [[Rosalina Tour|Rosalina]] Tours. They were removed from the game in the second week of the Holiday Tour, after Christmas of 2019 ended, and brought back in the first week of the 2020 Winter Tour, before being removed again after the end of the Rosalina Tour and being brought back in the first week of the 2021 Holiday Tour.

Festive trees are planted inside [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] and are decorated with red ribbons, lights, tinsels of various colors and a [[Super Star]]-like crown on top. When a driver gets near a festive tree, they can hear sleigh bells. Festive trees shake and give bonus points when hit with an offensive item (such as any type of shell, a [[Banana]] or a [[Bob-omb]]) or when driven into while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] or [[Mega Mario|Mega]], with the action displayed as "Happy Holidays!" Additionally, starting with the 2020 Winter Tour, the trees also give the player an [[event token]] when hit.
