One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in this quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times bestselling authors of The Paradise Problem.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions.
But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world—the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy.
The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. But when Mae gasps awake…she’s on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop—and finally get her true love under the mistletoe.
Jam-packed with yuletide cheer, an unforgettable cast of characters, and Christina Lauren’s trademark “downright hilarious” (Helen Hoang, New York Times bestselling author of The Heart Principle) hijinks, this swoon-worthy romantic read will make you believe in the power of wishes and the magic of the holidays.

Went in for the festive vibes, came out with an amazing life lesson.
"Super cute holiday rom com that has an unexpectedly really good life lesson. Highly recommend for festive season. Similar to watching a hallmark movie but with a bit more depth."
— Rachel (5/5)
Holidazing
"I love Kate & Leopold. I love a time travel plot. It’s weirdly romantic and we don’t know why. But the time loop in this is bizarre and so unnecessary. But, that aside. Christina Lauren books are fun, feel good and usually romantic enough. The sex in this one isn’t great, but the scenes are cute enough. It would probably make a great Hallmark movie. I wouldn’t read it again, and I probably wouldn’t recommend it (especially not over my absolute fave Christina Lauren book - The Soulmate Equation!) but it was entertaining enough and I’m not mad I read it."
— Emily (3/5)

— Jen K. (4/5)
Cute Holiday Read
"Was looking for a light holiday read and after a few friends recommended this one I snagged it on sale and I don’t regret it. Had just a touch of magic to get me in the spirit of Christmas and the satisfaction of a hallmark movie."
— AvidReader (5/5)
Cozy Read!
