As the calendar approaches the final few months of 2025, collectors will start thinking about the holiday season – and 2025 Topps Holiday Baseball gives them reason to stay on the nice list.
The annual holiday-themed set mimics cards from the 2025 Topps Series 1, Series 2 and Update checklists and gives them festive makeovers.
Collectors can find several formats in the packaging of Topps Holiday. Among the offerings will be an Advent Calendar, Collector’s Tins, and Mega Boxes. Each version has its own set of exclusive parallels.
2025 Topps Holiday Baseball Checklist Overview
Topps Holiday pulls 200 cards from the flagship set for holiday makeovers, with scrolling design accents turned into candy canes and wrapped in evergreen garland and holiday lights. Snowflakes also surround the player images on base cards.
Parallels will include Holiday Lights, Holiday Plaid, and Glitter Holiday.
Topps will also debut Chrome Holiday variations for the first time, including Gold.
The base set will again feature short-printed photo variations, giving set builders an extra challenge. Topps also announced “nostalgic buyback cards” will be included in the product.
Though Topps Holiday is not targeted as a premium product, collectors can still find Autographs – though pulling one is usually a tough chore.
Memorabilia cards likewise have steep pack odds but also play up the holiday themes with jersey swatches set inside cut-outs shaped like stockings, holiday hats, and holiday trees.
Die-cut Ornament inserts have been a staple of Topps Holiday for years. This year, the ornaments are shaped as a stack of presents.
Another die-cut insert will be Making the Nice List, which highlights statistical leaders from the 2024 season.
