Two festive trees in DS DK Pass

Festive trees are course elements in Mario Kart Tour. They are exclusively featured in tours that lead up to or occur around the holiday season. Festive trees are planted inside 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. Festive trees give bonus points when hit with an offensive item (such as any type of shell, a Banana or a Bob-omb) or when driven into while invincible or Mega, with the action being displayed as "Happy Holidays!" Starting with the 2020 Winter Tour, they also give drivers an event token when hit.
