Are there like Hallmark Christmas books? I'd be down for that. Any to recommend? There absolutely are. Debby Macomber, total fluff.
I've read a couple of hers, but I'll list some below, be sure to check Goodreads so you know what you're jumping into: "The 12 Dares of Christa" by Marissa Burt - definitely more young teen "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Christmas Magic..." by Jack Canfield - I don't remember reading this (my Goodreads says it was 2018, but I gave it good reviews) "The Tourist Attraction" (actually a trilogy last I checked) by Sarah Morgenthaler - Small town and all that jazz, I'm not sure the 3rd one is "Christmas"... could be the first one isn't. The 2nd one though, yes. "In a Holidaze" by Christina Lauren - I honestly bought it for the cover and the "Sliding Doors" type vibe. Dash & Lily have 3 books, they're definitely teen-ish, but the first one is so good. They made a Netflix thing out of it and ehhhhhh. The book was way better. They came out with a 2nd and 3rd and then an extra novella (I think), but the first one is so quick and easy. "Always, in December" by Emily Stone "In the Event of Love" (Fern Falls #1) by Courtney Kae - this started a little slow, but total Hallmark vibes and a favorite. Additional book out but not Christmas-y. "Season of Love" by Helena Greer- pulled me out of my Christmas reading slump last December. Hope ya'll can find something you like!

It's a genre I haven't looked too much into. Romance is usually my least favorite genre, but I do love some fluff books in December. Then, I also try to re-read A Christmas Carol each year too.

Also in her stories you can see part of a reading/bookshelf with a santa mug on it. I don't really read special Holiday things but maybe it's time to start lmao I always document the books I/my family receive for gifts each Christmas, so I like the looks of this sneak

a full shot of the reading stamp and some other sneaks came out yesterday These colors match nothing of what I've bought for this year but a lot of my past DD things so I've still got my eyes open. Love that NOEL paper and the vellum ornament one. So much of this matches the Pinkfresh stuff I still have bits and bobs of. Also if this is her winding down I feel like I'll want to spend $$$$$ on things because of FOMO like I got once FYC shut down and I didn't grab everything I wanted.

I love the holiday sneak and I hope there's some left for non-subscribers on release day.
I am really hoping that reading stamp has a digital option. I would love to make that bookshelf into a cut file for a 2 page spread in my DD.

Ok, the book stamp set is cute! I'm not a Hallmark movie person, but I always have a pile of sweet, sappy Christmas books ready for December. Happy to share additional titles if anyone wants them.

Glad I showed some restraint with DD purchases so far. If she is really winding down the shop, I know I will be tempted to stock up

omg you GUYS I literally did the *smack* hand to heart movement when I clicked through this slide I AM IN LOVE. why are her things just SO damn cute?! I know it'll be expensive. I know it won't be as packed as others' DD kits are. I know I already purchased everything I wanted to use for this smaller for me DD year but I still want all of this in my hands. The FOMO is real, y'all. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx_XAJZydCF The minis shown look meh to me and I'm thankful for that lmao

I don't know what her obsession is with Dachshunds? Unless the other side is useable, it'll be a donate. Thanks for posting the correct IG post for the kits, I tried 3 times and it still kept putting the wrong one. I figured people could click it and find their way around.

Duh! I’d really like to not get sucked in, but I wavered at first sight of the doxxie babies.

I love dachshunds but that’s because I had one for 19 years he just passed away September 6th. I looked at the pictures and that’s the one I love the most.

I don't know what her obsession is with Dachshunds? I wonder if she or her family has had them? I know I mailed the doxxie stickers I got last year or the year before to mom cause we're cat people. So this is not the first time she's used this breed. Plus they're just really cute and festive.

LOL I think she does them because she knows people will buy them because they are on there. But who knows if that's the real reason or not.

Why do I like that silly Santa mug so much 😅
Hoping she does digitals his year. I don’t need a whole kit.

Bright Lights, Big Christmas by Mary Kay Andrews (and there is a callback to The Santa Suit also by Mary Kay Andrews) The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss (also A December to Remember) Through the Snow Globe by Annie Rains Every Day in December by Kitty Wilson There's more on my GoodReads filed under Christmas if you want more recommendations!

also, looking at the PP sneaks I'm intrigued.
I was thinking of Elle's Studio or Citrus Twist this year but I love that Noel paper and the reading stamp!

I'm really liking the red, black, and white sneaks. I usually get that kit, and sometimes I add on the color cards. We shall see in a few days what I'll get.
I am glad to see more sneaks!
