You Make It Feel Like Christmas is a cozy, heartfelt holiday romance filled with second chances, family chaos, and the quiet magic of coming home. Starr Lewis returns for the holidays feeling defeated—no job, no relationship, and absolutely no desire to help plan her sister’s Christmas Eve wedding… especially since the groom happens to be Starr’s ex. But what begins as a season she just wants to survive takes a warm, hopeful turn when Waylon Emmerson—her brother’s best friend—walks into Thanksgiving dinner and instantly lights up the room.
Waylon is charm, comfort, and steady warmth wrapped into one, and his presence becomes the safe place Starr didn’t realize she needed. As they spend more time together—laughing, reminiscing, working side-by-side in his late mother’s Christmas shop—their connection deepens in the sweetest, most organic way. Starr’s grief, frustration, and longing for direction feel deeply relatable, and Waylon supports her without overshadowing her growth. Their budding romance is soft, slow, and full of the kind of gentle moments that make holiday stories special.
Toni Shiloh weaves together faith, family, and love in a story that feels like a warm hug on a winter day. You Make It Feel Like Christmas is about more than romance—it’s about finding purpose, rediscovering joy, and allowing yourself to imagine a different kind of future. With its small-town charm, festive atmosphere, and love that grows quietly but confidently, this book is a perfect holiday read for anyone craving comfort, hope, and a little Christmas sparkle.
