Holyday was born in Toronto, Ontario. He is the son of Doug Holyday who previously represented the ward, served as Mayor of Etobicoke, and was briefly a member of Provincial Parliament (MPP).[citation needed] He and his wife Margaret have three children.
Alex Bozikovic, The Globe and Mail's architecture critic, called Holyday "furiously anti-development". He has also been described as one of "three Toronto councillors hopelessly exacerbating the housing crisis" by More Neighbours Toronto.
Holyday is a fiscal conservative. He opposes building new bike lanes and new multi-unit housing in neighbourhoods that consist of single-family homes.
He endorses Mark Saunders in the 2023 Toronto mayoral by-election.
