This is a cozy and quick read of two novellas that is excellent for short holiday trips or for the Christmas spirit all year long.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first short story! A holiday train ride, a silly man dressed as an elf, new friends, light humor, and a sweet romance. What isn’t to love? The narration for this first short story was also solid. All around, my favorite of the two.

I really struggled to get interested in the characters in the second story. I just couldn’t connect with them. There wasn’t anything glaringly “wrong”; it just wasn’t for me. I think this was due in part to the narration which I just didn’t like. I think if it hadn’t been duel perspective, the narration wouldn’t have bothered me, but because it was and because the narrator didn’t change her tone, I just didn’t like it. However, I certainly think that others might enjoy this one. There is merit in it. I enjoyed the FMC’s parents, and second chance love is a good trope for holiday romance.

All in all, if you want some pleasantly cheesy and cozy holiday fun, this set might be a quick enjoyable read for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Zondervan Audio for this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

If you’re looking for a heartwarming holiday read filled with love, second chances, and festive charm, this collection of two holiday-themed novellas is a perfect choice. Both stories bring a cozy, feel-good atmosphere while exploring the joy and risks of falling in love.

The first novella follows a heartbroken woman who longs to find that one true love. Seeking a change of pace, she boards a holiday train, never expecting to find romance along the way. With a cast of quirky, endearing characters, this story brings humor and warmth, making it a delightful holiday escape.

The second novella offers a touching second-chance romance. Two people who once shared love are given an unexpected opportunity to rekindle what they lost. But with love comes vulnerability—can they risk opening their hearts again? This story beautifully captures the emotional depth of second chances and the courage it takes to love again.

With engaging storytelling, lovable characters, and the magic of the holiday season woven throughout, this book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys festive romances that leave you believing in love.

This audio was delightful! I loved both stories! The first story was just adorable! I loved the whole Christmas Theme Train idea and does this exist? The characters were well written and the story was easy to follow! The second book was a beautiful second chance story that tore my heart out! I really enjoyed the narration and will absolutely read all of this author's books!

Thanks to NetGalley, all opinions and thoughts are my own.

In the first story, I wish we'd gotten to see more of them falling for each other. I loved how sweet it was, and the concept of the train was a lot of fun, but I also wish we'd seen a little more of that trip—seeing more of the train after her initial impressions, some of the excursions, etc. Since we didn't see a lot of that, I think the last chapter would have been the perfect ending—I didn't feel a need to see the engagement in the epilogue since I hadn't been super grounded in the relationship. This one was a 3 because I liked it but did want more overall.
I felt much more grounded in the second story. I thought the pacing and release of information was good, and was really rooting for them even with their history. The second story was a solid 4-4.5 stars for me.

Dashing Through the Snow and Pining for You are the perfect cozy holiday listens! The narrators bring all the fun and feels, especially with Willow’s hilarious train trip adventure and Theo’s cute quest to win back his childhood love. Both stories are sweet and romantic, with just the right amount of Christmas magic. These novellas are totally perfect for anyone in the mood for a feel-good, heartwarming holiday escape!

Love both books so very much. I loved both couples' cute stories. They are hallmark feels, and I wish that both couples had a longer story. These are also very short stories, so it's a quick read that is perfect for an in-between book.

Two well written inspirational romantic novellas. I throughly enjoyed both selections. I recommend this book.

K.I.S.S. - Keep It Short & Sweet perfectly sums up Snowy Serendipity! This is a two in one read by Melissa Ferguson - Dashing Through the Snow (also in On the Way to Christmas) and Pining for You (also in This Time Around). This is a first time reading this author and not sure if all her reads are considered Novellas but these were sweet appetizers as some may say.

Both could be longer and probably just as enjoyable however, I still enjoyed them. My favorite of the two was Dashing through the Snow - this one just made me smile. Willow's boyfriend of 7 years - right when she thought he was going to propose, he runs off with another woman. Heart broken and now on a 2-week romantic train ride (that was supposed to be when she got engaged) - there are men who are all chiming for her attention.

Just a really sweet read - no other word for it! If you are looking for something to make you smile then this is the read for you!

What a cutesy winter read! (Im a little late though).
This consists of 2 wintery romances. Let me review them separately.

The first is so good it literally feels like magic. I loved this story.it was so cute and cozy, i loved the characters, and i actually enjoyed that they were still a bit mysterious. Absolutely loved it 5 stars

The second is also pretty cute, a romance on a christmas tree farm, and i like the characters for sure. They were childhood friends then childhood lovers then broke up and now theyre back again. My only doubt? Their reason for breakup (TW: cheating). Pretty good, but wouldve been better with another reason for their previous breakup, 3 stars

And that combines into a 4 star read. Both are enjoyable, and i def recommend, especially as a cutesy palette cleanser near christmas.

the narrator did a really good job, i was fully immersed! she has a really nice voice, and i kind of forgot that i was listening to an audiobook.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review

I usually love a wintery/ Christmas novella, but these two novellas just didn't do it for me. Both Dashing Through The Snow and Pining For You were both very flat and boring. It was very hard to catch the vibe and overall, I just wanted a little more.
Thank you NetGalley for this read.

I enjoyed the audiobook Snowy Serendipity by Melissa Ferguson. It was two easy to listen to short stories. The narration was excellent.
Dashing Through the Snow took me with Willow on a Christmas themed train trip. It was not an ordinary train ride. Willow met many people on her adventure. It made me want to look into a train ride for the holidays.
Pining for You was a novella that took me to a tree farm. Both stories put me in a holiday mood.
Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Zondervan Audio. This is my personal review.

Overall this book was okay. I did the audio version and the narrator was nice to listen to.

The first story was a sweet learn to fall in love again romance. It was a quick short story that had a fun plot with Christmas and all the people she grew to love.

The second story was a little harder to follow. The short stories are nice, but it seemed they tried to get too much information/detail in such a short amount of time at times I felt myself saying wait what? When they talked about Theo getting punched in the face by Luke after their break up years ago, and then she was confused how Theo knew Luke when they were in the store together years later. Why would she be confused? It was just a little too short or too much information.

Such a cute story line! I listened to the Audiobook and I really enjoyed it! The narrators were great and made the story even better! I will definitely be listening to this again and buying the physical book!

This was so much fun to listen to. This book was two novellas put together, and I had the best time. Dashing through the snow was adorable and everything I could want in a holiday romance. Pining for You was good, but I think the first one was definitely my favorite of the two.
The narration was wonderful and I will definitely be looking at more books they have narrated!

This was a very cute, fun, quick read of 2 Christmas themed novellas! The perfect pallet cleanser after reading some heavier stories. I absolutely adore Ferguson's writing style and always look forward to reading her next one. Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for my audio copy!!

I listened to the audiobook. Narrators did a good job. It was pleasant to listen to. Good expression.

Both stories were interesting. Light and heartwarming, clean reads with happily ever afters.

I enjoy reading Melissa Ferguson’s books. She’s a wonderful writer with a great imagination.

Thank you to NetGalley, Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Audio for the chance to listen and review this audiobook. All thoughts are my own.

This is a set of two Christmas stories. I think I liked the first one, Dashing through the snow, the best. It involved train travel which I love, excursions, chess matches, great characters, and even an odd little dietary aspect. I especially liked Clarence and Ian.
It focused on Willow's healing from a break up. The end scene with Jonas made me laugh. It was perfect!

Pining for You is about second chances. Theo and Skye were best friends 14 years ago before Skye moved away. Now she's back and Theo is thrown together with her. They seem like an unusual pairing until you start learning more about their pasts.

These stories are pretty light, enjoyable listens. The narrators were good. It's fun. Thank you to Thomas Nelson audio for providing me with a free audiobook. All opinions are my own.

A great duo of two stories set in the winter. The narrators are great and are easy to listen to.

Dashing Through The Snow is a funny, laugh out loud story that includes a Christmas Elf, a Train, and a mysterious older gentleman.

Pining For You is set on a Christmas tree farm. It is a second chance, small town romance.
