Holiday cove

A friend and I are frozen at level 25. Other than collecting coins to clear trees and sending ships on voyages there is nothing left for us to that does not require a great many holly berries. These, we are finding impossible to collect. We are both at the verge of deleting this game which is a pity as it has been very enjoyable up to now. Any suggestions?
