How a passion for travel became a community-loved agency—and how you can help support us in the Best of Kelowna 2025!
A Journey Fueled by Joy
At Holly Jolly Travel Co., we believe travel should feel as magical as the holiday season—it’s the one gift that truly keeps giving. That’s exactly what inspired us to bring joy to the world of trip planning. Founded in 2023 by Candace Campbell, a travel industry veteran with over 16 years of experience, this Kelowna travel agency was born from a desire to take the overwhelm out of vacation planning and replace it with excitement, confidence, and connection.
From our roots in the Okanagan Valley, we’ve grown into a dynamic team of specialists committed to designing meaningful, stress-free, and joy-filled adventures for travellers across Canada and beyond.
The Experts Behind Your Dream Getaways
Candace, our founder and cruise specialist, channels her love of the sea into helping clients find the perfect ocean or river cruise—from laid-back Caribbean escapes to full-scale global adventures. With nearly two decades of expertise, she’s the heart and helm of Holly Jolly.
Chelcie, our resort and family travel guru, brings her lived experience as a mom and adventurer to every itinerary she creates. Whether it’s waterfall treks in Fiji or beach lounging in the Dominican, she curates family vacations that balance excitement and ease.
Leanne, a Kelowna native and certified Destination Wedding Specialist, knows how to plan a seamless celebration or group getaway. From all-inclusive escapes in Cuba to multi-gen adventures along the coast, she brings heart and precision to every detail.
Shelby, our Europe and group travel expert, blends global wanderlust with local pride. Her firsthand experience exploring Spain, Germany, and beyond allows her to design unforgettable European escapes—while her love for the Okanagan lifestyle keeps her grounded in community and connection.
