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.

Additionally, starting with the 2020 Winter Tour, the trees also give the player an [[event token]] when hit.

==Trivia==
*Despite making its debut in the 2020 [[Winter Tour (2020)|Winter Tour]] and later reappearing in the [[Rosalina Tour]], there are no festive trees on [[Merry Mountain]] or its R and T variants.
*[[Merry Mountain]], [[DS Airship Fortress]], all three [[Vancouver Velocity]] routes, [[RMX Rainbow Road 2]], and [[Wii DK Summit]] are the only courses in the game that were featured in at least one tour with festive trees but did not have any on the course.
**In Merry Mountain's case, this is due to it already having a Christmas theme.
