What you get

The Shop

Five days at Hollybrook

A cozy, storybook Christmas village and a welcoming stationery shop to call your own for five delightful shop days — with simple, easy-to-learn solo gameplay and gentle seasonal events along the way.

The Orders

Cards, gifts & keepsakes

52 unique customer orders inspired by a standard deck of playing cards — greeting cards, gift wrapping, decorations, and keepsakes — tracked on your printable shop workbench, plus three optional Christmas commissions for the village.

The Endings

Christmas Eve arrives

Earn Christmas Cheer with every finished order and read one of four possible Christmas Eve endings. Journaling is optional, and two illustrated cutout sheets of stationery, gift tags, and decorations are included.

How will you spend your Christmas week?

Some orders are quick and simple. Others take a little more time and care. With only so many working hours in each day, you'll decide which projects to accept, how to organize your workbench, and whether to take on a special Christmas commission for the village.

Using an ordinary deck of playing cards and a six-sided die, you'll welcome customers, complete their requests, and earn Christmas Cheer as your little shop prepares for the holiday. You might help a child prepare a card for a grandparent, wrap a treasured family gift, create decorations for a Christmas celebration, or put together a beautiful keepsake album.

Play your way

Concentrate on helping as many customers as possible, take your time completing special projects, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of running your own little Christmas shop. The game combines light strategy with cozy storytelling, and every playthrough offers a different collection of customers, requests, and surprises.

Journaling is optional, and no previous roleplaying experience is needed.
