'''Holiday Outfits''' are primary outfits associated with the [[Central Series Story Patterns#Holiday Books|Holiday Books]] or holiday story for the [[Historical Characters]].<ref>The exceptions are [[Cécile Rey]] and [[Marie-Grace Gardner]], as they share their [[Central Series|series]] together.</ref> This also includes outfits for the [[Best Friend Characters]]. In holiday-focused advertisements for characters, these are the outfits they are shown in, especially in catalogs.

The outfits were often styled to resemble formal or semi-formal dresses of the era appropriate for the character's age; the notable exception is Kirsten, whose holiday outfit is an informal Saint Lucia gown and in the context of the stories, is stated to be a spare nightgown.

Outfits for the Historical Characters were, until the 2004 book cover changes prior to the [[BeForever]] revamp, shown on the cover of the first versions of the holiday Books. Many were part of the story in some way, generally with special meaning to the character.

[[Kaya'aton'my|Kaya]] does not have a holiday outfit, as she would not have celebrated Christmas (or any Christian holidays). As of {{CURRENTYEAR}} all but [[Rebecca's Hanukkah Outfit]] are retired.
