The Book of Holiday was a Christmas themed book that was added in December 2020. While not particularly a good book in 1v1 settings, it does decently in team settings with the ability to give everyone spells through Presents! and its AOE Heal. Also changes your player into Santa!
The Book of Holiday isn't accessible under the spell selection screen in the conventional way that other spellbooks are. Instead, while in the spell selection interface, under the Book of Seasons tab, you can click the button on the top left of the interface to toggle between spells from the Book of Seasons, and the Book of Holiday. This also means that you can not have spells from both the Seasons and Holiday spellbooks at the same time within your spellbook.
