I haven't written a new holiday themed romance for this season to share with you, but my initial thought was that I would share a few recommendations for similar books and movies for readers who enjoy a nostalgic Christmas feel this time of year. Unfortunately, I believe there is still a gaping hole in the Christmas novels market for period pieces set in the years where all our classic Christmas music originated: 1930s-1960s. If I had more time these days, I would try to use the winter season to write a few Christmas novellas to release next fall!
While I couldn't find any novels that were directly set in the 40s, I sure found many where the cover might have led me to believe the novel was set in that era. The retro look and imagery from those years remains a strong sentimental pull that many cover artists are clearly tapping into. So I decided to share a few of my favorite covers with that nostalgic feel. Perhaps you'll find some good novels to explore in these highlighted covers, but at the very least, my hope is that you'll find joy in the beauty and nostalgia of these gorgeous holiday book covers!
This cover was absolutely inspired by the 1940s (or maybe early 1950s) -- love this one!
Again, other than the one noted, I've not read any of these novels so I'm not leaving specific reading recommendations so much as sharing some beautiful cover art that spoke to me in the season.

Very creative post! "The Wish Books Christmas" cover reminds me of Norman Rockwell. You've an artists eye. I would say "Here are some covers I like" and not really be able to tell you why.
Lovely covers, thanks!
So many beautiful covers. They really focus on the small-town cosy vibe, which is how I feel whether in an actual small town or a large city.
