Happy Tuesday, y’all! And happy December! Can you believe it’s already the last month of 2025? I know I can’t. For this week’s TTT, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl is giving us a holiday freebie. Isn’t that nice of her? This year, I decided to create a Christmas TBR. In the craziness that is December, will I be able to squeeze them all in? Let’s see what I’ve got on my Christmas 2025 TBR.
I may be a bit crazy to think I’ll read ten books this month, but I’ll certainly give it a try. All titles will take you to Goodreads.

I have plans to read a few more Christmas books but these are all new to me!
What lovely selections, I’m very curious about the advent- style book.
Happy Tuesday
Secret Santa and Christmas is in the Alps sounds and looks like a good books. I love the covers as well. Here is my TTT.
The cover of The Christmas Kill almost makes me feel manly! XD
Good luck with your quest!
I seriously can’t believe that it’s December already! 🫣 I’ve seen a few people mention that Book Advent Calendar over the past few months and I think it’s such a cool idea. I hope that the story is just as fun/cool to read! I have The Key to My Heart and Holly Jolly Diwali on my TBR as well. Good luck with getting to all of these reads and happy reading!
My True Love Gave to Me looks really cute.
Secret Santa looks so good!
These look like pretty quick reads, you can do it!!
i love the concept of the Secret Santa book – how fun!
I’m curious about A Holly Jolly Diwali.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
The Matzah Ball sounds so cute, Here is my post https://paigesofnovels.wordpress.com/2025/12/02/top-ten-tuesday-holiday-books/
I’ve heard Lia’s books are REALLY good; read and liked some of the My True Love novellas back in the day; and someday I need to read more by Jessica! I read one of hers and did really like it. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my list today.
Good luck with your holiday TBR – I hope you’ll love all books you get to!
This is a great list! You have 23 days, better get reading!!
I’ve read Holly, Jolly Diwali, My True Love Gave to Me, and The Matzah Ball and loved all of them. I hope you enjoy whatever you get read this season.
What a fabulous list, Pam. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding. A solid Poirot!
These book titles sound like great reads!!
The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding is really good, I might listen to it as well!
Good luck! I hope you’re better at finishing your TBR’s than I am, hahah.
Melody Carlson is a favorite with my library patrons. Happy Tuesday, Pam!
That’s a lot of holiday-themed books! I only have two on my December TBR (and one of them is a fantasy winter holiday, so I’m just assuming it counts here).
I’ve read My True Love Gave to Me and Holly Jolly Diwali and enjoyed them both. (The latter is what prompted me to head overseas for my 50th birthday.)
Well, now I’m fascinated with Secret Santa. I shall have to find out more.
This looks like such a fun list. I don’t have any Christmas books on my TBR, but now I want to add a few:-)
I think you can do it!!! Good luck! 🙂
I hope you make a nice dent on this reading list.
Very ambitious! I hope you enjoy whichever of these you get to! I don’t have any holiday books planned to read as of now, but things can change… and meanwhile, I have plenty of other books I’m hoping to finish before the end of the year.
Good luck with your reading! I hope you have fun with these titles 🙂
Good luck with your goal!
I have only read the one by Agatha Christie.
