27 Books to Curl Up With This Holiday Season

 

 

Believe it or not, a couple of years ago, I really wasn't into holiday books. Other than A Christmas Carol, I did not venture into holiday romances and the thought of a Hallmark Christmas movie made my eyes roll. But then the pandemic happened and I found myself craving a feel-good book where I could guarantee a happy ending, where the small town knows everyone's name, there may or may not be a gorgeous Christmas tree farm or bakery or bookshop, and it's always Christmas. While not all of these books are entirely 100% feel-good, they are all special holiday books in their own right. Whether you are looking for something that captures the spirit of Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years Eve, or even just winter in all its snowy glory, there's something here for everyone.
