Hallmark Christmas Movies Based on Books

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

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.
