The great news is, despite the slim pickings when it comes to movies, the world of queer holiday romances in book is (as usual) doing a bit better. We’ve got books about women falling in love at a holiday baking competition and single dads falling for their hot silver fox neighbors. It’s a queer Christmas extravaganza! This list is by no means perfect. I’d love to see a lot more trans, nonbinary, ace, and bi rep (to name a few), not to mention — always, always — more stories by authors of color. But these 20 must-read queer holiday romances are still a pretty good place to start. If you like these must-read queer holiday romances you might also like these lesbian and gay holiday romances and the 5 diverse romances we want to see as Hallmark Christmas movies.
