Overview

Holly is the shy nature girl in Christmas Village's Winter Wonderland. Her current route combines eight affection milestones, five Christmas-task milestones, daily conversations and gifts, and Stargaze with Holly. Her Christmas task list also connects characters across all three eras with a sequential dungeon quest.

Quick Stats

Attribute Value
Era / alignment Future / Good
Location / hours Winter Wonderland; all day, every game day
Favorite stats Perception 50; Stamina 50; Mystic 40
Special relationship skill Christmas Spirit
Talk 25 minutes; 1 base point; seven per day
Chocolate Acquaintance; 20 minutes; one Chocolate; 3 base points; seven per day
Hot Chocolate Known; 20 minutes; one Christmas Hot Chocolate; 10 base points; 80 per day
Task milestones 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 distinct tasks completed
Favorite stats improve the shared relationship multiplier; the Christmas Spirit skill doubles it. The listed affection-milestone and gift rewards are base values before that system. The Christmas task handlers award their listed affection directly, without the multiplier.

Getting There and Starting Her Route

  1. In the Future Fringe Zone, visit the Sky-Level Atmospheric Management Station and choose Christmas Village. From the village, enter Winter Wonderland. These Christmas travel actions take zero minutes.
  2. Use the village's Toggle Christmas Spirit to enable Christmas activities. This activity setting is separate from the learned Christmas Spirit skill; turning it on does not teach the skill.
  3. Complete the automatic Welcome to Christmas Village encounter once. It gives 10 base affection each to Holly, Ginger and Noella, plus one Token. Choose “Green is my favorite.” for another 5 Holly base points; red favors Noella and blue favors Ginger.
  4. Talk to Holly at any hour. At Known, Christmas Hot Chocolate becomes available; ordinary Chocolate requires Acquaintance. Return to Winter Wonderland as her affection improves to trigger her milestone scenes.
  5. Open Holly's Christmas Tasks from its Christmas task icon. Complete the available tasks in any convenient order, and return to Holly after each five-task threshold. The 18 → 19 → 20 → 25 dungeon chain has its own required order.
Christmas Village and Holly's regular schedule have no real-world calendar-date gate configured. Her own affection milestones do not require finishing Ginger's or Noella's routes.

Daily Conversations and Gifts

Action Requirement Cost Base affection Daily allowance
Talk to Holly Stranger 25 minutes 1 7
Give Chocolate Acquaintance 20 minutes; one ordinary Chocolate 3 7
Give Hot Chocolate Known 20 minutes; one Christmas Hot Chocolate 10 80
Each action tracks its own daily allowance. Beyond its allowance, the handler records −1 base points through the shared over-limit handling. Gift costs still apply, so stop before spending gifts on over-limit interactions.
Christmas Hot Chocolate uses a separate event counter. It is not ordinary Chocolate, and the shared action handler consumes one Hot Chocolate before Holly's response. Christmas Village's Claw Machine can award it: one play takes five minutes and one Token. Prizes are random; use View Prize Odds to inspect the current prize pool.

Affection Milestone Walkthrough

All eight encounters trigger automatically at Winter Wonderland, once each, when Holly reaches the required affection stage. They have no time-of-day gate and do not require the preceding affection scene's completion flag. Revisit the location if several encounters become eligible together.
Scene Required stage Scene base reward Best answer Answer bonus Best base total Tokens
Spreading Holiday Cheer Known 3 I'd love to help spread some holiday cheer. 3 6 1
A Moment in the Snow Acquaintance 3 Because you're the most beautiful thing in this winter wonderland. 3 6 1
Beneath the Frost Friend 3 Honestly? I'm awkward too, so this works perfectly. 3 6 1
A Hidden Place Close Friend 3 Is this a trick to steal my body heat? Because it's working. 3 6 1
Snow Angels Crush 10 Close the distance and kiss her. 3 13 1
Warmth Within Romantic 20 Take her hands and tell her you feel the same warmth when you're with her. 6 26 1
Melting Into You Intimate 30 I want that too. I want all of you. 8 38 1
Eternal Spring In Love 50 I love you too, Holly. You're everything to me. 10 60 2


Every milestone through Intimate gives one Token; Eternal Spring at In Love gives two. These are automatic plot scenes, so the personal Heart-to-Heart Romantic completion bonus does not apply.

Stargaze with Holly

At Friend, with Christmas activities enabled, choose Stargaze with Holly from the Winter Wonderland location menu between 8 PM and 4 AM. It takes 15 minutes, completes Task 3, and awards one Token and 10 Holly affection directly, once.
There is no separate money, energy, Chocolate or Hot Chocolate cost configured. This activity is separate from Holly's automatic affection milestones. It does not need a particular number of tasks completed.

All 25 Christmas Tasks

The table uses 24-hour time where numerical clock ranges are shown. Start before the end of a range; 24:00 means midnight. A task without a special clock range still needs its location to be accessible. For example, the Uptown Library opens 8 AM–10 PM.
Enable Christmas activities for the listed holiday location actions and elf encounters. Vera's normal Hold'em menu and its task-completion handler have no separate Christmas-toggle or affection check. Task numbers identify checklist entries; ordinary tasks do not require completing the previous number.

25 Final Tinsel dungeon encounter Dungeon floor 23+ Task 20 completed; Christmas activities enabled; boss battle Normal dungeon exploration and combat Three Tokens


All ordinary task actions are one-time. Completing a task increases the checklist by one, regardless of its Token or affection reward. Task 10 has a repeatable game reward as described below, but its checked task still counts only once.
Tasks 12 and 15 use the Master Bedroom location menu, rather than an individual worker-room portrait. Their listed staff must be found and active. Task 12 needs both Jade and Sophie at Crush. Task 15 needs Elara at Crush. Tasks 16 and 17 need access to the built Brothel Bar and have distinct evening and after-midnight windows.
Only Wine with Jessie has an ordinary consumable cost in these task actions: one Wine. The dessert, antler and decorating tasks do not require buying extra ingredients, antlers or decorations. Paid-version gates are shown only where the actions declare them. Several other characters' task locations must first be reached through their own routes; follow those character guides for access.
Task affection rewards go to the named NPCs. Only Stargaze with Holly directly adds Holly affection; the rest advance her task counter and unlock her separate five-task milestone encounters.

Vera's Poker Task

Go to the Present Downtown Bar between 8 PM and 3 AM, choose Play Table Games, then Hold'em. The game uses two wild jokers. Select a $10, $50 or $100 ante that both you and Vera can cover, and keep playing until Vera's entire bankroll reaches zero. A single winning hand does not complete the task.
Vera starts a new game day with a $2,500 bankroll. Her remaining bankroll persists between sessions within that game day, then refills when you start playing on a new day. Each hand advances five minutes, or three with an active Time buff. Wagers cost money when placed; leave enough to cover the next ante, and reduce the ante if Vera can no longer cover the current one.
Winning a hand awards 2 base Vera affection through her shared relationship calculation. Clearing her bankroll triggers Task 10, one Token and 20 direct Vera affection, and locks further Hold'em play for that game day. That reward can occur again after a later day's bankroll reset, but the task count remains one completed task.

The Elf and Dungeon Task Chain

  1. Task 18: enable Christmas activities, then use Explore Back Alleys in the Medieval Back Alleys of the King's Demesne. Each search takes 45 minutes and 15 Energy. The stranded elf is a random encounter, not a guaranteed first search. Its 90% roll applies after that encounter is selected from the shared pool. There is no prerequisite to complete Tasks 16 or 17. All three offered dialogue answers continue to task completion and one Token.
  2. Task 19: after Task 18, explore dungeon floor 18 or deeper with Christmas activities enabled. The first Tinsel encounter has a 40% priority roll when the scenario selection runs. It completes Task 19 and awards one Token; any offered answer continues.
  3. Task 20: after Task 19, explore floor 21 or deeper. The second Tinsel encounter has the same 40% priority roll and awards one Token. Again, the dialogue choices do not block completion.
  4. Task 25: after Task 20, explore floor 23 or deeper. The final encounter has a 50% priority roll and requires a boss battle. Complete it to receive three Tokens.
These encounter rolls do not mean the scene must appear on your first step at the minimum floor. The ordinary scenario pool can also select eligible encounters. The Tinsel scenes are excluded from floors 36–40, where the dungeon uses a different restricted scenario pool; use eligible floors outside that range.
Prepare your health, armor and combat supplies before the final encounter. The boss is weak to Light, has 35 magic resistance, 15% damage reduction and double damage, and absorbs Ice and Dark. Fleeing and sleep are disabled for this boss battle. Watch for the announced Chain Storm attack and use the game's defensive choices. Its fight scales with the dungeon floor, so the listed minimum floor is the earliest opportunity, not a guarantee that your build is ready.
This chain is independent of most other checklist entries. Finishing Task 25 completes that dungeon objective; Holly's final 25-task milestone still requires every distinct checklist entry.

Christmas Task Milestone Rewards

Return to Winter Wonderland after completing 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 distinct tasks. These are one-time automatic encounters. They have no Holly affection-stage requirement, no separate clock window, and do not require the previous task-milestone scene's completion flag.
Scene Distinct completed tasks Holly base affection Tokens
A Growing Warmth 5 5 1
Halfway There 10 10 1
Spreading Joy 15 15 1
Almost Complete 20 20 1
Holiday Cheer Complete 25 25 2


The task counter checks completed checklist entries, not Tokens held, Tokens spent, claw-machine plays, conversations or repeat poker rewards. Holiday Cheer Complete includes Holly's registered animated gallery reward sequence.
The 25 distinct tasks supply 27 Tokens in total because Task 25 gives three. Holly's five task-milestone scenes add six Tokens and 75 base affection. Her eight affection milestones add nine Tokens separately, and the village introduction supplies one. Spending Tokens does not reduce any task progress.

Christmas Spirit and Current Route Boundaries

The learned Christmas Spirit skill is a possible Claw Machine prize until won or already learned. Winning it teaches the skill and removes it from later prize rolls. It doubles Holly's relationship multiplier. Toggle Christmas Spirit only turns Christmas activities on or off.
Holly has no separate skill lesson, personal Heart-to-Heart menu, apartment invitation, Rose & Thorn worker recruitment, resort-worker route or pregnancy route configured. Her current scenes come from the eight affection milestones, five task milestones and her Stargazing task.

Troubleshooting

  • Holly's portrait is absent: enter Winter Wonderland; she stays there all day.
  • Hot Chocolate is unavailable: reach Known and hold at least one Christmas Hot Chocolate. Ordinary Chocolate does not substitute.
  • Chocolate is unavailable: its affection requirement is Acquaintance, which comes after Known.
  • A task action is missing: enable Christmas activities, check its exact location menu, affection stages, paid-version gate and start window, and check whether it is already completed.
  • Jade/Sophie or Elara gift missing: use Master Bedroom, meet the Crush stage requirements and keep the listed staff found and active.
  • Elf-bar task missing: build the Brothel Bar and use its correct clock window. The late-night elf appears 1–3 AM, separate from the 9–11 PM elf.
  • Vera task stays unchecked after a win: continue until her whole bankroll is zero. Blackjack and Liar's Dice do not complete the Hold'em objective.
  • Dungeon chain stalls: confirm 18 → 19 → 20 completion in order, the minimum floor, Christmas activities enabled, and that you are outside floors 36–40.
  • Holly's task milestone is missing: return to Winter Wonderland after the required number of distinct checked tasks; earning more Tokens does not increase that number.
