The Holiday Tour was the seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on December 18, 2019 and ended on December 31, 2019. Due to this tour taking place during Christmas and New Year's Eve, a variant of Yoshi in a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer outfit and a variant of Pauline in a New Year's party outfit appeared as spotlight characters. This tour also introduced Birdo as a playable character for the first time in the series since Mario Kart Wii. Like the 2019 Winter Tour and the London Tour, festive trees were added on all courses featured during the first week of the tour; hitting one with an item during a race would grant "Happy Holidays!" bonus points. The tour also introduced a new bonus challenge, Combo Attack, as well as a new classic course, Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 7. This tour also introduced a new variant of the New York Minute course, New York Minute 2. This tour also introduced the R/T variants of SNES Mario Circuit 1, N64 Kalimari Desert, and 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon. This is the first tour where a new version of the same city appears in the same year. The menu's background featured the Empire State Building as the landmark for this tour.

Starting from this tour, Pauline is now available in regular tour pipes.
