Holly King and Oak King are characters of English folklore, eternal opponents, each of whom owns half of the year: Holly King is dark (winter), and Oak King is light (summer).

Holly, the mythical brother of the Oak, has long been popular and loved by many peoples of the world. It should be noted that, according to the botanical classification, these plants are not related, they belong to different families: the oak belongs to the Beech family, and the holly belongs to the Holly family.

In many Celtic neo-pagan traditions, there is an eternal legend about the battle between the King of the Oak and King Holly. These two powerful rulers vie for supremacy as the Wheel of the Year spins each season. During the Winter Solstice or Yule, the Oak King defeats the Holly King and then reigns until mid-summer or Lita. As soon as the Summer Solstice arrives, King Holly returns to fight the old king and defeats him. In the legends of some belief systems, the dates of these events are shifted; the battle takes place at the Equinox, so the King of the Oak is strongest in midsummer, or Lita, and King Holly dominates during Yule.
