A charming YA small-town holiday romance. I wasn't a huge fan of the narrator but the actual story was entertaining and had a lot of depth. I loved the queer grandma story line and that it's set in a small mid-western town called 'Christmas' that plays host to a British teen boy and his aunt who are keen to experience a quintessential American Christmas (reindeer sleigh rides and roasted chestnuts included). Cute and lots of feel-good Hallmark vibes.

Never have I ever read a Christmas-themed book around the holidays. Would I do it again, absolutely! This was light, sweet, and easy to read. In the midst of the holiday hustle I just needed something nice and easy to pick up at the end of the night and this was it!
This book was extra fun because our MC Finley works for her young, fun Grandma Jo (I have a young, fun Grandma named Jo) who owns and runs an Inn in Christmas, Oklahoma (my grandma ran a snowy inn!) so that fun coincidence is what drew me to this book.
Fans of YA contemporary should definitely give this one a try!

Nothing wrong with this book at all, I just didn't connect with it- it felt too young for me, so DNF

I am so glad that I looked this book up when a friend told me about it. It’s such a cute YA Christmas Romance!
So, This is Christmas is set in a town renamed Christmas and almost every business changed their name to Christmas themes.
Finley is from Christmas but goes to a boarding school in CT. She changes her town’s website to be one of the must see places for Christmas to impress her classmates. Christmas break approaches and Finley decides not to go back to CT. But there are surprises that await her back in Christmas, OK….will these surprises change her mind about school?
I was so happy to find out that there’s a sequel coming because I NEED to more of Finley and Arthur

What a sweet book! I loved that there were multiple love stories that we got to see develop in this story. It was also perfectly set during the Christmas season which really got me more into the Christmas mood.
