Winter Tour (2019)
The Winter Tour was the fifth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on November 20, 2019 and ended on December 3, 2019. Reflecting its theme, DK Pass from Mario Kart DS made a return, and a variant of Mario in his Santa outfit from Super Mario Odyssey was introduced. In this tour, festive trees were added on all courses featured; hitting one with an item during a race would grant "Happy Holidays!" bonus points. The menu's background featured a backdrop for DK Pass and a festive tree as landmarks for this tour.

- "What's that outside? Has it started snowing already? That can only mean one thing...the next tour is the Winter tour! Bust out your snow tires and ready your chains for a flurry of fun starting 11/19 at 10pm PT!"[1]
- "Races are about to get a lot snowier in blue when the Winter tour starts on 11/19 at 10pm PT! There are no snowplows in these parts, so you'll have to burn some rubber and clear the road!"[2]
- "The Winter tour is almost over! Has the heat from your engines left a path of melted snow in your wake? If you've got more fuel to burn, head out there and make tracks while you can!"[3]
- "Thanks for racing in the Winter tour! The Winter tour may be over, but the snowy season continues in blue. Next stop: London, a city full of history and culture!"[4]
