It's no secret that I absolutely adore Christmas books and would read them year round if I could get away with it. Actually, who says I can't do just that?! Anyways, On the Way to Christmas was just the sweetest and most heartwarming collection of novellas from three incredibly talented and lovely authors. I cannot even say that I had a favorite story within the book, because they were all so charming, fun, and had the best characters who you just fall in love with. Everything I look for in a Christmas read was wrapped up in this wonderful book. I couldn't recommend it more to add to your holiday TBR!

Many thanks to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for the gifted e-copy!

Loved reading this book. Amazing story and the characters lend to the charm of this book. I would highly recommend this book. You would not be disappointed. 3 great Novellas

What a great collection of Christmas stories by 3 talented authors! I totally enjoyed this and you will enjoy them too. Get your copy and relax and read them. Thanks everyone for the great collection!

A fun sweet read! Highly recommend.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my ARC.

On the Way to Christmas by Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson, and Amy Clipston is a delightful read. If you love Christmas, this book is for you! I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary copy of these well-written stories.

Another amazing, wonderful story from one of my favorites, Sheila Roberts. Cozy, well written and takes you away from everyday life.

As the winter chill settles in, "On the Way to Christmas" became my delightful escape into the enchanting world of festive romance. This collection, crafted by the talented Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson, and Amy Clipston, is a heartwarming treasure trove that captures the magic of the holiday season.

In "A Christmas Do-Over" by Sheila Roberts, I found myself rooting for Darby, a character navigating the tricky journey of redemption. The small town setting, with its cozy charm, serves as the perfect backdrop for Darby's transformation. Roberts weaves a tale of forgiveness, second chances, and the true meaning of Christmas that left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Melissa Ferguson's "Dashing Through the Snow" takes readers on a delightful train ride filled with unexpected companions and the promise of healing. Willow's journey from heartbreak to self-discovery, accompanied by the quirky characters she meets on The Christmas Express, is a joyous exploration of love's resilience. Ferguson's witty narrative and charming characters added a layer of whimsy that perfectly complemented the holiday spirit.

"A Perfectly Splendid Christmas" by Amy Clipston brings a touch of romance against the backdrop of familial bonds and the clash of urban and small-town life. Kacey and Drew's love story unfolds with genuine emotions, making it easy to get lost in the magic of a perfectly splendid Christmas. Clipston's storytelling is a perfect blend of heart and humor, leaving me with a sense of contentment.

The beauty of this collection lies not just in the individual stories but in the seamless transition from one tale to the next. Each narrative captures the essence of the holiday season, reminding us of the importance of love, forgiveness, and the joy found in unexpected places.

As I curled up with my favorite holiday drink, these three stories became my companions, offering moments of laughter, heartache, and ultimately, the uplifting spirit of Christmas. "On the Way to Christmas" is a must-read for anyone seeking a cozy, heartwarming escape into the magic of the season.

I really wanted to enjoy these novellas. I’m familiar with the CBA authors here, but unfamiliar with Sheila’s writing style. There seemed to be more of an overall feeling of secular fiction in this set that surprised me, given the publisher. I’d still call the novellas fitting for the “clean romance” genre, but they didn’t feel entirely compatible with CBA romance in some ways. (I’m being vague on purpose so as not to give spoilers.)

Unfortunately, this compilation wasn’t for me. Still, I wish the authors and publisher all the best.

An enjoyable read. Three Christmas novellas in one book. And every story is spécial with a Hallmark movie vibes. Which makes it a festive collection.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for my copy of On the Way to Christmas by Sheila Roberts; Melissa Ferguson; Amy Clipston in exchange for an honest review. It published October 11, 2022.
I so regret not reading this one sooner, it is the perfect collection of short Christmas stories! I loved each one for different reasons. I loved how gentle each one was, the redemption stories, the sweet family time, and a Christmas train to die for! I totally binged this one, and I would read it again in a heartbeat!

A delightful and festive collection of stories that will warm every heart! My favorite authors weaving stories that were hard to put down, and definitely helped get me in the Holiday mood!

This was a good Christmas book!!! If you love Christmas and the warm cozy feelings that go with it you will enjoy these three holiday stories!!! Read and enjoy!!!

On the Way to Christmas is a collection of three short holiday novellas. All three stories are centered around the holiday and offer a little romance to the season. Although I enjoyed each story, my favorite of the three was the third book by Amy Clipston, A Perfectly Splendid Christmas (first time I've read this author). I picked this book because Sheila Roberts was one of the authors and it turns out her book was my least favorite in the collection. But overall, this is a nice group of light-hearted, festive novellas perfect for snuggling up with on a cold winter night.

🚂 So I realize it's the middle of February. But that's what happens when you read at a snail's pace - you finish a Christmas novella in February!

🚂 I have to be completely honest and say that I requested this collection from @netgalley because I wanted to read Melissa Ferguson's novella. I'm sure the other authors' stories were great, but in this season of having very little reading time, I chose to only read Dashing Through The Snow ❄️
.
🚂 I've already said I'll read everything @our_friendly_farmhouse writes, and that's because she's just so talented and writes delightful stories! This was so fun, festive, and at times - hilarious.

🚂 I only had one problem with this one - it was far too short 😩
I wasn't ready for Oliver and Willow's story to end. It was so sweet! (Melissa, please write an additional novel-length epilogue 🤩). Anyway, keep this one in mind for next year's holiday reads 🎄. Also, I never have any content warnings with her books! 🙌

Thank you @NetGalley and @thomasnelson for this advance e-copy

On the Way to Christmas is comprised of three Christmas-themed novella length stories, all by a different author. I have read and loved books by all three of the authors, so I was very excited to read this! I enjoy reading novella collections for a variety of reasons, but one of the main reasons is that I can read these between other books to enjoy the stories longer. All three of these stories were well written and were wonderful stories. You won't be disappointed!

Loved This Compilation of Three Short Stories! They each were unique and put a smile on your face and some Holiday spirit in your heart! 



A Christmas Do Over by Sheila Roberts. 

Dashing Through the Snow by Melissa Ferguson

, and
A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston

Overall this was a wonderful read. I wish I had read it earlier it definitely would have helped me get into the Holidays! It was nice to be able to have a quick read of 100ish pages and be able to do other things and go back and read the second short story and then the third without feeling torn between Christmas prep and reading.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Three authors give us views of Christmas with short stories. Sheila Roberts, Amy Clipson and Melissa Ferguson offer up some holiday reading that are a good length for a busy time of the year. The stories are light and easy to read and very sweet. A nice stocking filler for busy friends and family.

Visit a small town for a heartwarming family Christmas with Darby, take a two week train ride full of Christmas cheer and eccentric characters with Willow, and watch as Kacey helps her sister run a bakery in these three sweet Christmas stories that will make you smile.

What a great way to get in the Christmas spirit! I had a tough time getting into the first story at the beginning because the main character, Darby, seemed too grouchy and negative, but I made myself keep going and I ended up enjoying the story and the characters' development. The scenes with Darby's family and Gregory were the best ones and the setting had the right amount of Christmas cheer. My favorite story was the middle one: I loved the romance and the characters as well as the plot. Nothing says Christmas quite like a wintry train ride, and the characters were delightful, if not downright quirky. I laughed out loud many times as the story progressed. I would love to see a separate book detailing all of their adventures on the train that took place during and after the story. The third story was good and fun with some music and the kids, but I just didn't connect as much with the characters and the tone as I did with the first two. There were some good lessons about relationships to take away from the story and it was enjoyable overall. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys sweet and clean romances taking place at Christmas.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book through NetGalley. A positive review was not required, and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

A fun collection of light Christmas romances.

A Christmas Do-Over by Sheila Roberts

Mean girl reforms? Darby finally has an awakening. (Can't really call it a conversion) to be a better person. It means she has a lot of apologizing to do.

Dashing Through the Snow by Melissa Ferguson
Delightful sweet story of Willow taking a Christmas train without her significant other and finding her future. The author adeptly draws you into this novella. I enjoyed it very much.


A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston
Cute story, Drew Murphy and Kacey get a second chance. Love that it's told from both of their points of view. I really enjoyed this one.

Three light-weight holiday romances. Stories wre mildly enjoyable, but none really stood out as being really engaging.
