Every year, I watch Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983), which is such a cute and cozy adaptation, perfect for sharing with my 5-year-old. The story’s blend of holiday spirit, warmth, and transformation makes it an unforgettable read, especially during the colder months.

2. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
I’ve seen the 2019 Little Women movie and absolutely loved it! The story is heartwarming, especially with its focus on family and sisterhood. It’s a beloved coming-of-age tale, and the warmth of family makes it an ideal winter read—one of the many reasons I can’t wait to dive into the book.

3. The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffmann
Having seen The Nutcracker performed on ice, I’m excited to explore the original story this winter. It’s an enchanting tale, full of holiday magic and whimsy. The idea of a nutcracker coming to life and taking you on a magical adventure sounds perfect for the holiday season.
