I made two Christmas cakes this year: the chocolate clementine cake I brought to Christmas dinner and a second one, just for fun. It's a plain old chocolate cake (well a deliciously rich and moist chocolaty cake with a springy crumb) covered with a light layer of coffee buttercream and a nice sheet of marzipan. I did a much simpler and quicker decoration for this cake, but I think it still looks lovely. Using only circle cutters (icing tips, actually) I cut holly leaves from green marzipan and large holly berries from red marzipan. I made a simple border of small, red circles to hide the slightly sloppy bottom edge. It served its purpose and finished the cake nicely.
