2018 Holiday Books and Movies


HOLIDAY BOOKS ON MY TBR PILE: I knew Snow in Love was going to make my list this year since it features a story by one of my favorite authors, Kasie West. Mutts and Mistletoe has cute dogs on the covers so I couldn't pass that up and Christmas Camp is written by the person who wrote the Netflix hit A Christmas Prince, which was horrible yet entertaining, making it another must read. Carols and Chaos offers a historical fiction Christmas story by an author I love while Moonlight Over Manhattan and Love & Other Train Wrecks just sounded like enjoyable reads.


NEW TO ME: With Vanessa Hudgens playing the main character I couldn't say no to The Princess Switch (Netflix). A sequel to A Christmas Prince? Of course I will be watching A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding (Netflix). Switched for Christmas (Hallmark) features Candace Cameron Bure while Road to Christmas (Hallmark) stars Chad Michael Murray. The Holiday Calendar sounds like another Netflix Christmas hit and The Grinch is a favorite of mine.


OLD FAVORITES: As a fan of musicals and musical competitions, The Mistle-tones (Freeform) had to make this list. I watch The Holiday and Love Actually every single year, they both have a great cast! I haven't watched Olive the Other Reindeer in quite some time, but I am hoping to change that this year. Rise of the Guardians is such a well-made movie and I didn't get around to watching it last year. Yes. Die Hard is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. Yes. It is a Christmas movie. Fight me in the comments! ;)




Puppies Crash Christmas is both a wonderfully adorable delight, and gives me great anxiety. This video is only available on Hulu. It is 30 minutes of adorable puppies wrecking a cute Christmas scene with Netflix show Easter eggs scattered throughout.

Tell Me in the Comments: What holiday books are you planning to read? Do you have a favorite Christmas movie?

  1. Looks like you have a lot of great holiday reads and movies coming up. I read a few Christmas themed books for the HoHoHo Readathon a couple of weeks ago and Sarah Morgan's The Christmas Sisters was my favorite. My favorite Christmas movie is Chevy Chases' Christmas Vacation and I also really want to see the new Grinch movie that just came out.

  2. I love your blog post header! Very cute.
    I won't be reading any Christmas reads this year but I've begun the Christmas movie binge. If you haven't seen it already see if you can watch The Christmas Cottage on Hallmark. It is so cute! The Princess Switch is the best while The Holiday Calendar is meh. I want to rewatch Die Hard as well. Now only to convince the brothers...
    Aw so adorable! Puppies Crash Christmas <3

  3. SO MANY Christmas books I’d like to read, so I think I have some prioritizing to do! I just started a re-read of A Boy Called Christmas on audio narrated by the fabulous Stephen Fry because I definitely want to read the sequel The Girl Who Saved Christmas this year :) Planning to re-read A Christmas Carol on audio too for a buddy read! The rest, we shall see!
