**What is the Holly Bush?**
The Holly Bush is a new decorative bush that was added to *Animal Crossing: New Horizons* with the 2.0 update. It’s different from other bushes because it’s the first one that appears in the winter, adding some lovely holiday spirit to your island. This bush has red berries and green leaves, making it perfect for decorating your island during the festive season.
However, players quickly found that getting the Holly Bush isn’t as easy as planting a regular bush. It has its own unique rules, and that’s where the trouble begins.

**The Problem: Why is the Holly Bush So Tricky?**
The biggest issue with the Holly Bush is how you can obtain it. Unlike other bushes, you cannot just buy it from Nook’s Cranny or get it from a friend’s island. Instead, it’s tied to a specific season, which means that you can only get it during winter in the game.
If you’re new to the game, or if you’ve been focusing on other parts of your island, you may miss out on the opportunity to get the Holly Bush in time. This leads to some frustration because you have to wait for the right season to plant it, and it can feel like a big missed chance if you don’t pay attention to the game’s schedule.
Another problem comes from the fact that the Holly Bush isn’t available for purchase like the regular bushes. Some players have been confused about how to get it, as they may not know about the special seasonal event tied to it.

**The Solution: How to Get the Holly Bush**
So, how can you get the Holly Bush? It’s simple, really. You just need to wait for winter to come in your game. You can buy Holly Bush starts from the Able Sisters’ shop during the winter months, which is from December 1st to the end of February. Once you have the starts, you can plant them anywhere on your island. After a few days, the bushes will grow and bloom with their beautiful red berries.
If you’ve missed out on getting the Holly Bush this winter, don’t worry! You can always try again next year when winter rolls around. Make sure to check the Able Sisters’ shop each winter to grab some new starts!
