This is done for Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera truncata).

"Holiday" Cactus includes three species in two genera, although all Schlumbergera appear to be called one or another of the Holiday Cactus Common names.
Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera truncata)
Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera x buckleyi)
Easter Cactus (Hatiora gaertneri)

I think a Parent Plant called Holiday Cactus which includes all plants in genus Schlumbergera makes sense. Common datapoints would be:

Plant Habit: Cactus/Succulent
Life cycle: Perennial
Sun Requirements: Partial or Dappled Shade
Minimum cold hardiness: Zone 10a -1.1 °C (30 °F) to +1.7 °C (35 °F)
Leaves: Evergreen
Flowers: Showy
Flower Color: Other: Yellow anthers
Flower Time: Fall
Uses: Suitable as a houseplant
Propagation: Other methods: Other: Mature single segment cuttings. This will have to be filled in individually.
Containers: Suitable in 1 gallon
Needs excellent drainage in pots
Prefers to be under-potted
Miscellaneous: Epiphytic
Conservation status: Vulnerable (VU)
