Christmas Tree Farm Mystery Books in Order

The Christmas Tree Farm Mysteries, written by Julie Anne Lindsey as Jacqueline Frost, are holiday cozies through and through. The series follows Holly White, who returns to Mistletoe, Maine, and becomes deeply involved again with her family's business, Reindeer Games, a Christmas tree farm that grows into a bigger year-round holiday destination.

Holly is practical, loyal, and not especially good at standing back when someone she cares about is accused of murder. That is the engine of the series. A body turns up at the farm, the inn, a parade, a town display, or some other festive event, and Holly starts pulling at threads while Sheriff Evan Gray tries to keep both the peace and Holly out of danger.

Mistletoe is the kind of setting that makes this series easy to love. It is a town that runs on Christmas spirit, tourism, tradition, and old relationships. The holiday details are not background wallpaper. They shape the whole feel of the books. Holly's world includes tree lots, candy displays, gingerbread, toy drives, historical celebrations, and visitors who bring their own grudges with them.

The mysteries themselves stay grounded in small-town motives like jealousy, money, pride, old feuds, and family tension. That mix keeps the books from feeling too sugary. There is warmth, but there is also danger, and Holly often has to walk a fine line between helping and making herself the next target.

If you want a series that feels like a Christmas movie with a sharper edge, this is a good fit. Start at Twelve Slays of Christmas and keep going in order for the best mix of town history, relationship development, and holiday fun.
