Despite more books being published during the past few years, Christmas YA books continue to have a diversity problem. Not only are most of the books listed below written by white authors, there are essentially no stories featuring LGBTQ+ teens. We’ve said it before, and we’ll keep saying it until publishing changes: Give the readers what we want! We want more holiday YA books from authors of color, and we want more holiday romcoms where the teens falling in love aren’t straight or cisgender. Still need more Christmas YA books? Sign up for Book Riot’s Tailored Book Recommendations! With TBR, readers get paired with a bibliologist who will provide personalized reading recommendations, based on whatever your reading interests are. Lady’s maid Kate Darby has her hands full between performing her household duties at the Shackleford Park country estate and caring for her ailing mother. Matt Harlow is also busy acting as valet for the Steeple brothers, two of the estate’s holiday guests. Falling in love would be a disaster for both of them, but resisting their feelings for each other becomes the least of their problems when Kate and Matt unwittingly become swept up in a devious counterfeiting scheme. After reading Let It Snow, stream the Netflix adaptation! At 17 years old, Ashleigh is about to experience a lot of things for the first time. The first thing is snow, because she and her mom are moving from sunny Texas to icy Michigan. Living on the completely snowbound and tiny Mackinac Island means experiencing small-town life for the first time. The scariest new experience of them all is boys. Of course, there were boys in Texas, but Ashleigh has never met a boy as cute or irresistible as Josh Wynter. Looking for more books to put you in the holiday spirits? Check out:
