Strawberry Hollow Books in Order

Strawberry Hollow is Maren Moore's cozy small-town Christmas series, the one built around hometown history, holiday traditions, and the uncomfortable truth that going home rarely stays simple for long. The books are connected through the town, its families, and the events everybody seems to care about, whether the characters want to join in or not. It is a very festive world, but the emotions under the tinsel are real.

The series begins with The Mistletoe Bet, which drops a holiday skeptic back into Strawberry Hollow and straight into the path of Parker Grant, her childhood crush and her brother's best friend. That setup tells you a lot about what to expect from the series as a whole. These books love history. People knew each other before the story began. Old feelings are waiting. Family dynamics are already in place. One Christmas event is usually enough to drag everything back to the surface.

A Festive Feud turns that shared history into open rivalry. Two families have been at odds for years, and now their children are forced to plan one holiday party together after a spectacularly bad night lands them in trouble. That means constant proximity, wounded pride, town gossip, and the very annoying realization that the person you are supposed to hate might actually understand you best. It is a strong example of how Strawberry Hollow uses the town itself as pressure.

In Strawberry Hollow, the traditions are never just background noise.

That becomes even clearer in The Christmas List. Here the emotional center shifts to a second-chance romance when Josie comes face to face with Wyatt, her first love and now the single father of one of her students. The annual Christmas List competition pulls them together, but what really powers the story is the sense that the town remembers everything. Shared history, unfinished heartbreak, and the hope that maybe this time things could go differently are all part of the appeal.

The tone across the series is warm and inviting, but not weightless. Moore uses the holiday setting for sparkle, yes, but also for pressure. Family expectations, lost chances, old feuds, and the question of what home really means all run through these books. The romances are sweet, steamy, and easy to sink into, but they still have some emotional heft underneath the Christmas lights.

If you like small-town holiday romance with recurring traditions, familiar faces, and couples who have to deal with both chemistry and history, Strawberry Hollow is a very comfortable place to land. Just do not expect anyone to get through the season with their heart fully intact.
