Holiday Romance Round-Up: Books to Pair with Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas

If you like Hallmark Holiday Countdown, then read these next!

Who else is addicted to holiday romances? It’s the most wonderful time of the year for holiday movies and holiday reads. I don’t know about you, but as soon as Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas kicks off, I’m ready to grab my coziest blanket, pour a mug of hot cocoa, and settle in for love stories filled with twinkle lights, snowflakes, and happily-ever-afters.

Holiday romances—whether on the page or on the screen—are like comfort food for the heart. Here are a few of my favorite festive reads (including my own!) to pair with your movie marathon this season.

My Holiday Romances

Christmas at Starlight Lake Cover surrounded by snowflakes and candy canes

Christmas at Starlight Lake
My newest release! Clemmie and Noah’s story is full of nostalgia, small-town magic, and the kind of second-chance romance that makes your heart ache in the best way. If you love Hallmark movies about coming home for Christmas, this one’s for you.

The Lost Art of Second Chances and Christmas in Applebury Covers surrounded by festive holiday decor

The Lost Art of Second Chances (Christmas Epilogue)
This book takes readers on a dual-timeline journey between Italy and small-town America. And with the bonus Christmas epilogue (Christmas in Applebury), you’ll see beloved characters celebrating the holidays with warmth, laughter, and a dash of holiday romance.

Cupid’s Coffeeshop: The Sweetheart Blend Volumes One and Two under a holiday tree full of gifts and a woman in striped stockings next to it.

Cupid’s Coffeeshop
If you love cozy small-town series like Hallmark’s Chesapeake Shores, you’ll enjoy my twelve-month journey through Cupid’s Coffeeshop. Each novella is a sweet romance set in Ashford Falls, perfect for curling up with when the weather turns cold.
