The Newly-Released Christmas Audiobooks I’ll Be Listening To

This is my list of books (in no particular order) full of Christmas cheer and cozy holiday settings. I look forward to these stories all year, but I never start reading them until after Thanksgiving Day. To me, that day marks the end of fall. Since I love fall, I always try to hold on to it as long as I can 🍂.

All these books were released in 2022. I haven’t read any of them yet, but am excited to get started. With the holiday season being such a busy time, I’m planning to listen to the audiobooks for each of these. If you’d rather read these stories, you should be able to get them in print or Kindle edition (with the exception of The Upside Down Christmas). So far I’m off to a great start with the audiobook for Holiday Romance, which I started with today. Visit often, as I’ll be posting my book reviews for these as I finish the audiobooks.

Grab a mug of hot cocoa, get cozy, and enjoy some fun stories this holiday season 🎄!

The Christmas Wish by Lindsey Kelk

Newly single Gwen wishes her future was clearer, and suddenly wakes up to Christmas Day all over again. This is a romance story à la Groundhog Day, but with all the festivities and great food of the holidays. I’ve been wanting to read something by Lindsey Kelk for a while, so I figured I’ll start with this one 🙂.
