I thought it was Holly King at this time? or is Holly King the one for the summer solstice?

Actually, I think the Oak King rules Midwinter to Midsummer: Midwinter equaling Yule. I could go look it up, though. It's not my path...

At Midsummer the Oak King is at the height of his strength, while the Holly King is at his weakest. The Holly King begins to regain his power, and at the Autumn Equinox, the tables finally turn in the Holly King's favor; he later vanquishes the Oak King at Yule.
