It may not be the best answer, but it is an answer. I first attempted "petty" because it's a cognate, it fits the brief of the quiz, and it is a correct response. Other quizzes allow multiple answers for questions that have multiple correct answers, so I'd encourage you to do the same here.

Maybe the clue should be adjusted. Holly and Mistletoe are more traditional christmas foliage.
But neither "holly" nor "mistletoe" has a double t. Like the Bronx is also a borough of New York City, but that doesn't mean it's a valid answer for this quiz.
