The Holiday Tour was the fifty-eighth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on December 1, 2021, and ended on December 15, 2021. It was the first tour to share the same name with a previous tour in English but different names in Japanese. Being themed around the holidays, it featured the return and the debut of various Christmas- and Santa-themed items, while also marking the return of Merry Mountain since its last appearance in the 2021 Cat Tour twenty-two tours prior. Additionally, this tour marked the debut of SNES Vanilla Lake 2 as the tour’s signature course, making this tour the first to introduce a new classic course since the 2021 Summer Tour eleven tours prior. This tour also appropriately marked the debut of the R/T variant of Merry Mountain, making this the first tour since the Baby Rosalina Tour forty-five tours prior to feature both a new course and new R/T variants of other courses. This was the second tour overall to not introduce any new drivers, with the first one being the Bowser vs. DK Tour fifteen tours prior. It was also the sixth tour to feature festive trees scattered across courses. The Coin Box Pipe from the 2020 Mario vs. Luigi Tour returned in this tour, now including different drivers like Kamek and King Bob-omb (Gold).
The Holiday Celebration event began on this tour, which featured new unique challenges similar to previous events like the Summertime Celebration from the 2021 Summer Tour and the Autumn Celebration from the 2021 Autumn Tour, offering rewards such as rubies and White Yoshi, as well as better rewards from the Tour Multiplayer Challenges. The event, just like the previously mentioned events, lasted for three tours, ending on the New Year's 2022 Tour.
For the duration of only this tour, the title screen image was changed to represent Team Toad's victory against Team Toadette during the Toad vs. Toadette Tour.
This tour's Coin Rush course is Merry Mountain, which was reused from the 2021 Cat Tour. The menu's background features the present tower from Merry Mountain as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the 2020 Winter Tour. This tour's trailer featured large stars and falling snow during its opening splash screen.
Starting from this tour, Peach (Wintertime), the Lime Tea Coupe, the Daisy Glider, and the Black Toe-Bean Balloons are all now available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.

Today's Challenge[edit]
Players' most recently used kart and glider are chosen, and favourite and favored ones have extra priority. Opponents are arranged randomly. On day 1 of this tour, players finish a race in SNES Mario Circuit 2 in the Bowser Cup using Toad (Pit Crew) for a free pipe launch. Starting from day 2, players have to finish a race in the earliest incomplete course that is not in any of the ranked cups using the driver shown on the course's thumbnail every day to obtain the corresponding reward in the table below. Once all of the courses are completed, the courses are selected at random.
