Christmastime is the most wonderful time of the year, for some at least. But it can also be the most stressful. Luckily, we have a way to get you into those feelings of comfort and joy in no time—besides streaming a holiday movie on Netflix or diving into a Hallmark film marathon, that is. We propose you grab your fuzziest Santa socks, put on a cozy onesie, and dig into one of the best Christmas books of all time.

Below, we've gathered old classics like The Nutcracker and Dickens tales; holiday romances prime for book club discussions; funny tales for fireplace reading; and kid-friendly choices for toddlers, babies, and beyond. After all, would it be a Christmas reading list without an appearance from the Grinch of Dr. Seuss' heart-warming, slyly comedic children's book?

We’ll be stocking our bookshelves with enough cheer that even Scrooge will want to read along. So, without further ado, get the pine-scented candles going, light the tree, find the most comfortable spot in the house, and read your way through these very merry Christmas books in 2020.
