Christmas is genuinely my favorite time of the year and there’s nothing I love more than being as cozy as possible. 

If you’ve been around my blog for a while, you probably already know that I’m obsessed with romance novels. 

But when Christmas rolls around, I take it to another level – I go searching for the most heartwarming Christmas books ever.

One thing I genuinely look for (and I think fellow romance lovers will get this!) is a good Christmas rom-com. 

There’s a big difference between a regular romance novel and a rom-com – that humor, warmth, and festive magic just hits differently. 

So, in this post, I’ve rounded up some of my personal favorite Christmas rom-com books that’ll make you laugh, swoon, and fall in love over and over again.

The Billionaire Scrooge Next Door by Olivia Hayle

Holly goes home for Christmas hoping for peace and family time – not a run-in with Adam, her brother’s old best friend and now the grumpy billionaire next door. 

He hates Christmas, she practically jingles her way through December, and sparks fly in the funniest, most charming way. 

Their banter feels like a Hallmark movie with a touch of sass, and watching their walls slowly melt feels so heartwarming. 

This book is perfect for anyone who loves a good opposites-attract story with small-town charm, a bit of holiday chaos, and a grinch who might just believe in Christmas again.

Resting Grinch Face by Alina Jacobs

Noelle hates Christmas, hates her small town, and really, really hates Oliver Frost – the guy who ruined her college life. 

So when she’s forced to face him again, she plans some festive revenge. 

But between snow fights, wild small-town antics, and way too many hilarious mishaps, her revenge might just turn into something much sweeter. 

I love how chaotic and funny this book is – it’s the perfect mix of sass, laughter, and unexpected love. 

If you want a Christmas romantic comedy that’s spicy, hilarious, and full of heart, this one will make you laugh and swoon all the way through.

Kiss the Girl by Melanie Jacobson

Grace never planned to stay in her small town, but life brings her back to run her dad’s hardware store. 

Enter Noah – the charming high school coach who’s determined to get her to enjoy Christmas and maybe even love again. 

Their fake dating plan for the town’s holiday festival quickly turns into something real, with sweet kisses and heart-tugging moments. 

I adore how cozy and genuine this book feels – it’s full of small-town magic, witty flirting, and that perfect slow-burn warmth. 

It’s exactly the kind of story you read with a cup of cocoa while Christmas lights twinkle nearby.

The Boss Who Stole Christmas by Jana Aston

Holly wants just one thing for Christmas – a new boss. 

Her current one, Nick Saint-Croix, might be gorgeous, but he’s also infuriating. 

What follows is a hilarious office holiday tale full of mistletoe moments, flirty tension, and all the cozy Christmas vibes.

I love how light and funny this book is.

It doesn’t take itself too seriously but still gives you all the romantic warmth you want at Christmas. 

If you love stories with snarky humor, swoony bosses, and that enemies-to-lovers spark, this one will absolutely make your holiday reading list brighter.

Snowed In by Catherine Walsh

Megan and Christian are total strangers who make a deal to fake date through the holidays – mostly to survive awkward family gatherings. 

But when they get snowed in together, their playful act starts to feel a little too real. 

The story is full of laughter, witty banter, and warm, fuzzy Christmas chaos. 

I love how this book balances humor with heartfelt moments – it’s one of those stories that feels like a rom-com movie come to life. 

If you adore fake dating, snowed-in cabins, and slow-burn chemistry, this is the perfect Christmas comfort read.

The Mistletoe Kisser by Lucy Score

Ryan, a grumpy ex-accountant, lands in a cheerful small town filled with Christmas spirit and one unforgettable woman, Sammy, who just happens to be his childhood crush. 

Between farm chaos, holiday festivals, and a sheep named Stan, their story turns into a hilarious, sweet, slow-burn romance. 

I love how funny and heartwarming this one is – it’s the perfect mix of small-town charm and holiday magic. 

If you enjoy grumpy-sunshine pairings, laugh-out-loud moments, and that cozy small town at Christmas feeling, this book is an absolute treat to read this season.

Christmas Baggage by Deborah M. Hathaway

Claire is tired of bad Christmases and even worse boyfriends, so she escapes to London for a fresh start and ends up stuck with her friend’s annoying (and ridiculously handsome) cousin, Liam. 

Their bickering and undeniable attraction make for a charming, British-flavored Christmas romance. 

I adore how sweet and funny this story is.

It’s like a warm holiday hug with a touch of Pride and Prejudice charm. 

If you love grumpy-meets-sassy banter and festive European settings, this book is the perfect cozy escape for your Christmas reading list.

Tis the Season for Revenge by Morgan Elizabeth

Abbie plans to get even with her awful ex by dating his boss and showing up at the firm’s Christmas party. 

But her revenge plan turns into real romance when she falls for Damien, a grumpy but soft-hearted lawyer. 

This story is equal parts spicy, sassy, and sweet with sparkly Christmas parties, red dresses, and emotional warmth beneath the humor. 

I love how it mixes revenge and romance so perfectly.

If you like stories where a woman finds love and confidence again, this one will make your Christmas reading unforgettable.

Holiday Romance by Catherine Walsh

Molly and Andrew have been just friends for years, sharing one annual Christmas flight from Chicago to Dublin. 

But when a snowstorm strands them, their friendship takes a new turn full of laughter, chaos, and unexpected feelings. 

This book is pure comfort – it’s funny, tender, and perfectly captures that friends to lovers magic against a snowy Christmas backdrop. 

I love how it feels like a modern Christmas movie full of warmth and hope. 

If you enjoy travel adventures, friendship-turned-romance, and heart-fluttering holiday charm, this is a must-read for Christmas.

How the Grump Saved Christmas by Claire Kingsley

Isabelle’s family farm – and beloved Christmas Village – is in trouble, and the man trying to buy it happens to be her grumpy ex, Elias. 

He’s all business, she’s full of Christmas spirit, and their second-chance romance is both hilarious and heart-melting. 

There’s banter, stubbornness, and so much Christmas cheer that you’ll be smiling from start to finish. 

I love how it combines small-town coziness with a story about healing and rediscovering love.

If you’re looking for a funny, sweet, grumpy-sunshine Christmas story that will make you believe in love again, this one’s absolutely perfect.

And that’s my list of favorite Christmas rom-coms.

Honestly, these books just make me so happy every single time I read them.
