In general, all the laws of Muktzah which apply on Shabbos apply equally on Yom Tov^[1], with exception to three laws of which in two Yom Tov is stricter then Shabbos, and in one Yom Tov is more lenient. These are the laws of Nolad, and Muktzah [this refers to all items set aside from one’s mind from before Shabbos, as will be explained], and moving items for eating purposes. The former is more stringent on Yom Tov, while the latter is more lenient. In addition to this leniency there is a further leniency associated with raw foods and candles, as since it is permitted to cook and extend a flame on Yom Tov, therefore these items are not Muktzah on Yom Tov.

A. Raw foods & Candles-Items which are only Muktzah on Shabbos because of Issur Melacha:

All foods and items which are Muktzah on Shabbos due to a Shabbos prohibition against making use of it which on Yom Tov do not contain a prohibition against making a use of it, are not Muktzah on Yom Tov unless it was completely set aside from one’s mind. [Thus, although raw foods that are inedible until they are cooked, such as a raw potato, are Muktzah on Shabbos they are not Muktzah on Yom Tov being that one can cook them on Yom Tov. The same applies regarding candles and all candle related paraphernalia.]

Examples of items that are not Muktzah on Yom Tov:

1. All raw foods that can be cooked on Yom Tov, including flour, beans, rice, pasta,meat, poultry,  etc.
2. Candles
3. Matches
4. Candlesticks
5. Candelabra
6. Lighting fluid

Examples of items that remain Muktzah even on Yom Tov:

1. A fish aquarium.
2. Medicine and vitamins.^[1]
3. A garbage that contains Muktzah items in it.
4. Water that is dripping from an air conditioner.^[2]
5. Fruits and vegetables that were plucked or even questionably plucked from the tree or ground on Yom Tov.^[3]
