Description

White Christmas meets Nora Ephron in Jenny Bayliss’ latest wholehearted, ensemble-cast holiday extravaganza.

Christmas can officially get stuffed because Harriet Smith is not feeling bright and merry this year. She hasn’t for a while. So when her college-aged daughter opts for Manhattan’s winter wonderland instead of Christmas at home, Harriet finds herself seeking solace in a wine-soaked one-night stand.  

But how Harriet will spend the holidays is swiftly decided for her after she takes the fall for some students who break into the town’s old Winter Theater. To get the students off the hook, the theater’s elderly owner requests that Harriet direct the washed-out stage’s final Christmas performance. And Harriet will do anything to help the kids . . . even work with the owner’s lawyer who, as it turns out, is her less than impressed one-night stand.

Directing the play with him won't exactly change her life. But it might just reignite the Christmas spirit and remind her what makes life merry and bright again.

"Jenny Bayliss is a Christmas book queen, and her latest holiday novel is another heartwarming winner." —People

"Hilarious and heartfelt." —Woman's World

"Jenny Bayliss has made an entire career of Christmas novels. I read and enjoyed her debut—The Twelve Dates of Christmas—a few years back and wouldn’t hesitate to try another . . . If you like British small town settings or are looking for something with a slightly older protagonist, this one could be for you." —Book Enthusiast by Becca Freeman

"Describing Kiss Me at Christmas by Jenny Bayliss as 'feel-good' would be a colossal understatement: The entire package is practically wrapped in a sparkly Christmas bow. . . . Bayliss’s mature main characters are refreshing stars . . . [and] readers will revel in the cute and sometimes rebellious kids, the wise and charming oldsters, and the descriptions of scrumptious foods from all over the world."BookPage

"A warm hug of found family, second chances and sweet holiday magic." —Reader's Digest

"Kiss Me At Christmas is a gloriously hilarious and heart-warming tale that's full of quirky characters, boundless optimism, and genuine happiness. Get ready to see your holiday and community spirits soar as your cheer on Jenny Bayliss for an encore!" —Holly Cassidy, author of The Christmas Countdown
