**Holiday Mashup** is the 12th world in *Plants vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished*. It takes place immediately after Modern Day - Day 50. The world contains 48 levels to complete, 11 plants to unlock, and 143 zombies to encounter. It is unlocked after beating Modern Day - Day 16.

There are two main mechanics present in Holiday Mashup: one of which are presents. Presents appear at the start of the lawn, and can appear later throughout the level. Busting them out rewards the player with either sun, Plant Food, or a plant.

The second mechanic in Holiday Mashup are Holiday Drinks. Introduced in Day 7, these drinks can give zombies who step on them a one time boost to either toughness, speed, or both.

Zombies in this world also have a unique attribute called Holiday Spirit. Each holiday has its own Holiday Spirit which grants zombies certain immunities such as immunity to freeze, slowing sap or stun.

## Game description

*Take a trip back to the present and relive those special moments during special occasions. Go up against many holiday themed zombies - some familiar faces and others newcomers!*

## Story

Throughout the expansion levels in previous worlds, Dr. Zomboss has been plotting something and hinting at it by referring to it as a "seasonal domination". After his defeat in Modern Day - Day 50, he decides to initiate the "Holiday Mashup" as his way of getting his "well deserved vacation" using a certain machine. It is revealed that his way of getting his vacation is manipulating time to cause almost every holiday to occur erratically. This causes time to seemingly get disrupted and will cause massive consequences if not stopped immediately. Luckily, Crazy Dave, Penny and the player all decide to stop this madness and eventually succeed in doing so in Holiday Mashup - Day 48. In the aftermath of everything, Dr. Zomboss decides to throw the towel on getting his vacation and continue his other plans and proceeds go into "an era with nothing but labor".

## Levels

\*Prizes that are not money bags are unlocked only first time.

### Brain Busters

#### Feastivus Morning

*Main article: Feastivus Morning*

Feastivus Morning is Holiday Mashup's exclusive Brain Buster. In this Brain Buster, the player can only get most of their plants by opening up presents. The levels are divided into three rounds, and when each round is about to end, everything present at the time will be destroyed and are then replaced by new presents in the next round.

It is played on Days 28 and 40.

#### Special Delivery

Special Delivery is a Brain Buster featuring a conveyor belt, with said conveyor belt being the only way to recieve plants. No sun is needed in this Brain Buster, as plants given by the conveyor belt are free of charge. Certain levels may have a hard limit for a specific plant, and the frequency of each plant appearing can vary depending on the level.

It is played on Days 3, 14, 20, 29 and 35.

#### Save Our Seeds

Save Our Seeds is a Brain Buster where the player is tasked to protect a number of endangered plants throughout the entire level. Getting one of the endangered plants destroyed in any way (i.e. eaten, crushed, etc.), or activated in the case of plants such as Potato Mine or Lava Guava, will result in a loss for the player.

It is played on Days 11, 30, 31, 34 and 44.

#### Last Stand

Last Stand is a Brain Buster where the player is given an extreme amount of sun and a limited amount of Plant Food to use for the entire level. The player must set up a strong defense beforehand before advancing. Most free plants and all sun-producing plants are banned in these levels, and any more Plant Food is not handed out throughout the level, though certain levels may have at least one carrier of it in it.

It is played on Days 21, 32, 36 and 44.

#### Locked and Loaded

Locked and Loaded is a Brain Buster here the player is forced to use the plants given in the level. They are only required to use the plants given to them in order to win the level. Even if certain plants given in the level have yet to be unlocked, the player still has the ability to use that plant within the level itself. This can serve as a demo for that plant if that ever manages to happen.

It is played on Days 5, 9, 17, 26, 38 and 42.

### The Calamity Calendar

*Main article: The Calamity Calendar*

The Calamity Calendar is Holiday's Mashup's Endless Zone, unlocked at Holiday Mashup - Day 20. Much like every other endless zone, levels get harder and tougher as you progress here. Presents will constantly appear throughout these levels in large quantities, appearing more frequently as you progress. Due to how many zombies are in Holiday Mashup, these levels can be really diverse. Various ambushes can appear here as well.

### Zombot Seasonal Sleigh-er

The player must fight Dr. Zomboss in Holiday Mashup piloting the Seasonal Sleigh-er. It can summon zombies representing a major holiday. Plants in these levels are only given to the player through a conveyor belt. The Zombot Seasonal Sleigh-er itself can attack the player's plants in multiple ways depending on the phase such as burning them, firing missiles and firing melted chocolate at plants.

It is fought at Day 48.
