So whether you're seeking a kiss under the mistletoe, a new flame for Chanukah, a reminder that family reunions can get...complicated, or a snowstorm to get stranded in—with someone cute, of course—try adding one of these 27 new cold-weather romances to your Want to Read shelf!

Thank you for including a variety of holidays rather than just Christmas. So nice to see a Thanksgiving one, a New Years and not just one but a few Chanukah ones! Also love the diversity in characters! Great list!!!

I am reading One More for Christmas by Sarah Morgan. I just got down with her book The Christmas Sisters and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I finished A California Christmas by Brenda Novak,The Last Christmas Cowboy, by Maisey Yates, The Backup Plan, by Lori Wilde. Now I'm reading Christmas In The King's Bed by Caitlin Crews
Recently I read The Mistletoe Trap and I must recommend it to everybody else! If you love best-friends-to-lovers this is it!
I have just read "Finding Love at the Christmas Market" by Jo Thomas, no plot surprises but a heartfelt story of love, friendship and the things Christmas should be about.I am half way through "Magic Under the Mistletoe" by Lucy Coleman and loving it.
ok someone please confirm this for me -- that guy on the cover of his for hanukkah looks like mr fitz from PLL right?
This whole series by Jackie Lau is adorable, hilarious and steamy fun covering four different winter season holidays. I was really happy to see book 2 on this list.

Thrilled to see an Erica Ridley here! That book is part of her three year project of stories set in a town where Christmas is celebrated year round. The series is delightful and she has released box sets of the books from the first two years of the project so it's economical to read the whole thing. Each story is short and a lot of fun.
Also want to mention that the Jackie Lau is part of a holiday series that starts with Thanksgiving, then this Christmas book, and follows up with Chinese New Year and Valentine's. It features a family with a funny grandmother who decides to matchmake her grandchildren. That series is a lot of fun too.
Just finished the Jenny Holiday book and it's delightful. Dying for the next book in this new series!

Yep I loved these too much more than I expected to, I mentioned them upthread.

Or perhaps look and see if there's any that interest me (there was) and make a request for them to post some that are about other topics... Just a thought.
I loved reading "The Cat of Yule Cottage" The Cat of Yule Cottage last year. It's Christmas, magic, romance and a cat. Any recommendations of similar stories?
