Borderline zone 9-10.
Had a week of freezing nights here in January.
Holly bush now has very sparse, curled leaves. What if anything can I
do to bring it back to its old green self?

I think you are too hot for Holly. You have some other issue, not the cold.
Mine was happy with 2ft of snow on it.

Not sure of the answer, but this seems more some sort of disease to me?

Temp could be a issue as pointed out. Some Hollies at the URL go to
Zone 9. NJ has all sort of holly available. Years ago some wild ones
were taken and propagated "Old Heavy Berry" comes to mind. I've go some
Japanese and Chinese about to add to your options and don't forget to
plant a male as it pollinates and will grant you more berries.
