Holly is a beloved Christmas plant, its symbolism deeply rooted in medieval and Victorian tradition. The glossy evergreen leaves represent hope and protection through winter, while the bright red berries—actually drupes containing seeds—were historically associated with drops of blood in religious contexts. Holly remains a universal symbol of festive cheer and good fortune during the winter season.
