Holiday Tour (2021)

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Template:MKTTour The Holiday Tour is the fifty-eighth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on December 1, 2021, and will end on December 15, 2021. It is the eighth tour to have the same title as a previous tour. Being themed around the holidays, it features 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 Cat Tour, becoming the signature course of this tour. Additionally, this tour marks the debut of SNES Vanilla Lake 2, making this tour the first to introduce a new classic course since the Summer Tour eleven tours prior, while also appropriately marking the debut of the R/T variant of Merry Mountain. This is the second tour overall to not introduce any new drivers, with the first one being the Bowser vs. DK Tour.

The Holiday Celebration event will start on this tour, which similarly to previous events like the Summertime Celebration from the Summer Tour and the Autumn Celebration from the Autumn Tour, it will feature new unique challenges, which offers rewards like rubies and White Yoshi, as well as better rewards on the Tour Multiplayer Challenges. The event, just like the previously mentioned events, will last for three tours, ending on the New Year's 2022 Tour.

For the duration of this tour only, the title screen image was changed to represent Team Toad's victory against Team Toadette in the Toad vs. Toadette Tour.

This tour's Coin Rush course was Merry Mountain, which was reused from the Cat Tour. The menu's background featured the present tower from Merry Mountain as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the 2020 Winter Tour.

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.
