Many Hallmark Christmas movies that embody the spirit of the holiday season are inspired by literature!
There’s something magical about books that revolve around the holiday season, transporting me to a world filled with snow-covered main-streets, sparkling lights, and merry gatherings – just like those heartwarming Hallmark Christmas movies we all know and love.
I personally love diving into holiday reading in the lead up to Christmas – it just adds that extra bit of magic to the season! This is such a delightful way to indulge in some me-time during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
I do the opposite of what most people do and read or listen to the book after watching the movie. Trust me, it adds so much more detail, celebration, complication, and most importantly, love to the story. It’s like the movie is just the beginning and the book takes it to a whole new level.
Here’s a compilation of the latest Hallmark Christmas movies that have been adapted from books.
Book 1 of 3 of 'Sweetheart, Montana' Series by Joan Kilby
A Kismet Christmas is based on Lori Wilde’s book, The First Love Cookie Club. The book is the third in a series about the small town, Twilight and the movie mostly follows the book it is based off of. I now want to read the whole series! I love the quaint town, Twilight!
Noel Next Door is based off of this super cute Christmas romance book, How the Grinch Stole my Heart. Warning: this book is risqué with a lot of steam in it!
Book 3 of 3 of 'Miracles of Christmas' Series by Erika Marks
