Holiday Books for Children

Updated: Dec 7, 2022

From our personal collection to our weekly library hauls; here's what we're reading during this festive season!



Listen, when it comes to children's books I have LIMITED self control. I want to own all of them. Especially Christmas ones. Children's Christmas books are my absolute kryptonite. Because of this- our collection is rather large.


So, this year I'm making a point to be more intentional about utilizing our local library.


The library is such a great resource! It's a great way to check out all the holiday books our toddler's heart (my heart) desires. Without needing to find storage space for them.


Another really lovely thing about libraries is they usually have a special spot for seasonal books like Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. As a family we celebrate Christmas. But we want our toddler to explore and understand other holidays. Books are a great way to do that! I have to admit; I'm not great about taking out books about other holidays. This is also something we're being much more intentioanl about this year.


Below you'll find the list as well as links in case you want to start or expand your collection. I'll continue to update the list as we go this season! Please comment your favorite holiday books- I want to make this list more inclusive. Enjoy!
