It’s time to get cozy for the holidays. Grab one of these festive and cheer-filled books and cuddle up for a good time – ‘tis the season!

Letters From Father Christmas

Each year, in December, J.R.R. Tolkien would write a letter to his children penned from Father Christmas with a postage stamp from the North Pole. Letters From Father Christmas is the collection of these handwritten letters, with drawings and paintings accompanying each tale. It’s the ideal heartwarming read to enjoy around the fire with loved ones, or when you’re looking for a charming pick-me-up.

One Day in December

One Day in December is a story of love at first sight gone wrong, when one of our protagonists shares a magical moment with a man who is later introduced to her as her best friend’s new boyfriend. The reader then follows three perspectives over a 10-year period, exploring their friendships, heartbreak, missed opportunities, and the pursuit of happiness.

Nick And Noel’s Christmas Playlist

If you’re looking for a feel-good holiday rom-com, Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist is full of the hijinks, cheer, and tropes you’re looking for. It has just the amount of cheese, with a little bit of spice, to make the book Hallmark-worthy.

The Deal of a Lifetime

If you’re in search of a good cry this holiday season, a Frederik Backman book is sure to hit you in the feels. The Deal of a Lifetime follows a father and son, as they reconnect after years apart, and a sick girl in a hospital bed.
