I grew NM Holiday Cheer a few years ago.  I got the seeds from Enchanted Seeds
(http://www.tvfuture.com/enchanted/).  They are a small, bushy, ornamental
chile plant, about a foot tall, with small green leaves.  The pods are about
the size of a marble.  Mine started out cream colored, then there was a little
purple over the cream color, then they got orange and finally turned red.  I
didn't eat many.  It's like eating a little hot ball of seeds, and they are too
small to bother with de-seeding.  Mine were fairly hot; I'd guess about half
way between a serrano and a habanero.
