8 Holiday Romances to Warm Your Heart
By Erin Murphy
‘Tis the season for city slickers to unexpectedly wind up back in their hometowns, where they will learn the true meaning of the holiday season while saving Christmas tree farms on the brink of closure and re-igniting the sparks of lost love.
Don’t get us wrong: the classic holiday tropes are comforting and cozy. But this year, we’re listening to holiday romances that give a little snow globe shake to the genre we know and love.
There’s Make the Season Bright, a queer lovers-to-fake strangers-to-potential second-chance romance from fan-favorite author Ashley Herring Blake. Three Holidays and a Wedding finds two seatmates on a cross-country flight emergency landing at an inn with an entire bridal party, Anna’s actor crush, and the love of Maryam’s life. And Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares, the beloved book from Rachel Cohn and David Levithan that has been turned into a Netflix miniseries, is the stuff of quirky teen dreams: Dash and Lily trade dares and desires in a notebook they pass back and forth all across a holly jolly-fied New York City.
