The Downfall of Holly Cerise.

Christmas message (Vlogmas Day 23)

She wishes viewers a “Holly jolly Christmas”, whether they’re celebrating with others or alone. She also encourages sharing the Christmas spirit with people around you—especially strangers—through:

• A smile
• A kind word
• Small gestures

She emphasizes being gentle and kind during the season.

Gaming & channel overview

She says she plays a variety of games and started gaming around 2012, beginning with League of Legends. She mentions playing:

• Infinity Nikki (main game)
• League of Legends (main game)
• Overwatch 2
• Call of Duty
• Recently started CS2

Personal channel update: “the downfall” / subscriber loss

She shares that she had a Christmas/end-of-year goal of reaching 140,000 subscribers by Christmas (or year-end). Instead of growth, she reports her channel lost subscribers.

The reason she gives is that YouTube changed rules and try-on hauls are no longer allowed, with channels like hers being deleted. As a result, she had to change her content niche and move away from try-on hauls.

She explains why some viewers unsubscribed:

• People often follow creators for a specific content type
• When the content changes, it makes sense to leave

She notes that the only real long-term way to prevent subscriber loss after content changes is building an audience that follows her personality, not just the niche.

She frames things positively:

• Some people stayed because they genuinely enjoy her
• She discovered a new passion: sewing and cosplay making

Sewing / cosplay passion

She says she learned to sew around age 10, but couldn’t pursue it fully because she didn’t have a sewing machine. Now that she has one, she can bring sewing projects to life.

She connects her fashion interests to why she originally did try-on hauls, but says she’s continuing with sewing/cosplay even though try-on hauls are restricted. She also teases how excited she is for what’s coming in 2026.

Mindset & identity

She shares that she feels like she doesn’t fit neatly into one “box” in real life. Her astrological identity includes:

• Cancer sun
• Capricorn moon

She says social media helped her feel less alone and find people with similar experiences.

Christmas video plans

She states it’s not her last Vlogmas video. She’s still filming a “what I got myself for Christmas” video.

She isn’t doing a typical “what I got from others” video because:

• She worries about gift choices being criticized in comments by strangers
• She doesn’t want to put other people’s gifts online for strangers to dissect

She also mentions the video could still appear on someone’s discovery page, so she avoids posting it unless someone explicitly opts in.
