White Christmas meets Nora Ephron in Jenny Bayliss’ latest wholehearted, ensemble-cast holiday extravaganza.

Christmas can officially get stuffed because Harriet Smith is not feeling bright and merry this year. She hasn’t for a while. So when her college-aged daughter opts for Manhattan’s winter wonderland instead of Christmas at home, Harriet finds herself seeking solace in a wine-soaked one-night stand.

But how Harriet will spend the holidays is swiftly decided for her after she takes the fall for some students who break into the town’s old Winter Theater. To get the students off the hook, the theater’s elderly owner requests that Harriet direct the washed-out stage’s final Christmas performance. And Harriet will do anything to help the kids . . . even work with the owner’s lawyer who, as it turns out, is her less than impressed one-night stand.

Directing the play with him won't exactly change her life. But it might just reignite the Christmas spirit and remind her what makes life merry and bright again.

Jenny Bayliss just does found family so incredibly well! I’ve binged every single holiday book she’s written this holiday season, and my favorites, are by far, those centered around a small town and unlikely people coming together. The setting of this one was super fun and unique, and the story was heartwarming and had me tearing up at the end 🥹

Holiday Found Family at its best!

This book was a warm cup of tea, cocoa, toddy, nog—whatever you’d like. I love how there is love for all ages and all races and all stations of life in this story, and everyone in the community is brought together by their creative comforts in this old theater. There is art, theater, writing, music, baking, construction, and a general lesson of love for others and yourself. I really enjoyed this one. Hats off!

I love everything about this book. It made me laugh-out-loud and got me in the feels because of the depiction of children in foster care. Jenny Bayliss is quickly becoming a must read author for me. Her stories are beautiful and have so much love and heart.

Such a great topic with a beautiful community storyline. I loved seeing a neighborhood come together and hear about the different families lifestyles and traditions. This is my first performance by the narrator and it was lovely. Long live the winter theater.

Outstanding listen! Love the community spirit!

I did enjoy Harriet and James, the famous five and all the cast of characters in this book. I will say it seemed the book went on entirely too long.

This book was boring at times and seemed to drag but was also cute at times.
