The Winter Wool Shop by Anne Fabus

Fans of Manuela Inusa beware: there is a new series that will make you very happy! Fair is fair: the cover idea is even almost identical, but that should not spoil the fun. The Winter Wool Shop has been out since October and already the second book in the “Clover” series. The first book: The Bag Workshop Full of Love was released in September. Great for in the shoe or in Sinterklaas’ bag!

The Christmas Tree full of Wishes by Holly Martin

The Christmas Tree Full of Wishes is already the third volume in the Wishing Wood series by Holly Martin. You can read the book as a stand-alone, but the whole series is getting high marks on Goodreads, so why not go for the whole series right away? All of this author’s books are wonderful reads. When Evergreen is asked to act as Santa’s wife, she doesn’t hesitate. But who could have imagined that her counterpart would be such a handsome character? If you’re looking for fun Christmas books, this one does come highly recommended!

A Christmas to Kiss by Alison Cochrun

The book A Christmas to Kiss was released in October 2023 and is hilarious. Alison Cochrun’s writing style is a little bit similar to Sophie Kinsella’s. And you know what that means: a book full of awkward moments! For example, Ellie has everything one day and nothing the next. Andrew, the owner of the café where she is going to work, proposes her a marriage of convenience to solve her financial and his family problems. This romcom is truly recommended for the holidays.

Fred & Ginger by Jacky van Laren and Petra Vollinga

Animal lovers beware: this book is the ultimate Christmas book for you! Fred, a happy Golden Retriever comes to live on Bethlehem Street. Fred comes from the shelter and his brand new owner Jasmijn doesn’t really have time for a dog at all. Down the street lives Ginger: a decent, slightly overweight Main Coon cat. Ginger worries about her owner, Steven. Against all odds, Fred and Ginger become close friends, but then Fred disappears! Can Ginger make sure Fred gets home safely again? Fred & Ginger is a heartwarming story perfect for reading under the Christmas tree.

Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey

It’s almost Christmas and Stella walks past the Christmas window of the big department store Vivant. That window is decorated in a rather bizarre way that leaves Stella standing confused for a moment. Aiden, the owner of the department store, asks her what she thinks of the window display. Stella gives him her unvarnished opinion, which makes Aiden laugh very hard. He hires Stella on the spot as his new window dresser. Could these two completely different people work together or would it take a Christmas miracle for that to happen? Window Shopping is a cozy and funny Christmas book written by one of the world’s most famous book smokers.

The Christmas Friends Club by Becca Freeman

We could go on and on, but we have to stop somewhere. We didn’t want to withhold The Christmas Friends Club from you anyway. This Christmas book has a high “Friends” character, so fans of this series (and of Christmas) will savor this story. The book is about traditions and friendship. The perfect ingredients for Christmas books!
