''Yolki'' (Russian: Ёлки, ''Christmas Trees''; also known as ''Six Degrees of Celebration'') is a comedy film franchise directed by Timur Bekmambetov. It currently includes seven full-length films (the first one having aired in 2010 and the last in 2018) and a 2015 spin-off. Each film’s plot is a HyperlinkStory that takes place on New Year’s Eve in several Russian cities (occasionally, other countries are featured as well). There is always some central problem that all the characters help solve, sometimes unwittingly. Many of the characters appear in several films of the series.

''Yolki'' is the most successful live-action Russian franchise.

!! The films contain examples of:
* TheCameo: Several RealLife celebrities (including the then-President Dmitry Medvedev in the first film) appear as themselves.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: In ''Yolki 2'', both Aslan and Alyona have this problem. Aslan’s father has arranged a marriage for Aslan with a girl the latter has never even met, while Alyona’s father is a PoliticallyIncorrectHero who mistrusts Aslan because of his Chechen origins.
* OddFriendship: A non-romantic example of UptightLovesWild with Boris the serious businessman and Zhenya the mischievous actor.
* OddballInTheSeries: Six of the films take place in the same continuity in the modern world, but ''Yolki 1914'' is a historical film set in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin 1914]].
* OneSteveLimit: Averted with [[spoiler:two women called Olga]] in the first film. Later, their sons also have the same name.
* OrphanageOfLove: The orphanage in Kaliningrad. The kids do squabble sometimes, but the staff are caring and kind.
* RomanticFalseLead: In ''Yolki 2'', François for Olya (Borya's girlfriend). The falseness is made pretty obvious from the start.
