Holiday recipes that include: beverages, breakfast, brunch, soups, salads, cookies, main course, and the sweets too. Neatly woven throughout the book pleasantly paired prayers and biblical verses that you can use as your daily prayer or use for your family prayer before mealtimes. The recipes seem interestingly simple with ingredients that you could find in your pantry. With the Christmas Eve Celebrations content, I found the stews and chowder recipes a perfect idea for a quiet night during the winter months, not just the holiday season.
Entertaining and family gatherings seem to become predictable when it comes to menu planning. With this variety of festive recipe ideas will sure to help with the boring party dishes.
A recipe that I found exciting to try is the "Apple Pancakes" and the "German Oven Pancake" I'm sure both recipes will be a hit with my three boys. Adding several of these recipes to my traditional holiday baking will be easy and exciting to my family's most cherished baking season.
Thank you to #NetGalley, the publisher, Barbour Publishing, and the author for digital Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Christmas in July was an absolute delight with this cookbook! The recipes are delicious and the photos beautiful. Most of all, the scripture and prayers add a stunning touch to this book and bring it to another level. This is a beautiful Christmas book! My thanks to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

I liked a lot of the ideas in this book and the recipes seem easy to follow and yummy but I wish there were more pictures to show you what the dish should look like.

Lots of tasty treats in this collection of Christmas cooking. It covers everything from drinks to large gatherings. It is Christian based, but the recipes would make anyone hungry to try! The Breakfast section is filled with terrific dishes to start any day. Dinners would be welcome, as would any of the other recipes., really. Just plain old solidly good food!

This book is full of delicious sounding foods and drinks. I can't wait for cooler weather and a chance to make the recipes for my family and holiday get togethers.

Gorgeous cover! Christmas delights seems holiday orientated but a ton of the recipes can be used year round with a little less holiday decor. Some amazing photos for a majority of the recipes tantalizer’s your senses. The copy I received said it was a sample of the book but it felt like I got a well rounded amount, from breakfast to desserts.

What did I like? This is a gorgeous book... no doubt. With some really great looking recipes that will not only suffice during the holidays but add to other holidays during the year. I would also use some of these recipes for regular dinners. I like a ton of Sunday dinners with the family, and these look rather pleasing and easy.

Would I recommend or buy? Multifunctional book with great recipes...need I say more. Some of the recipes use regular store bought canned goods but it did not take away from the appeal of the book. Time in the kitchen versus time with family.... I’m good.

I received a copy to read and offer an opinion. I loved it! Five stars.

So many lovely ideas are to be found in this recipe-packed book. Divided into seven sections, I particularly liked the 'Refreshing beverages' suggestions and the 'Bountiful breakfasts and brunches' ideas. These are not all traditional Christmas recipes, but there is a huge variety in each section, so plenty to choose from. There are photos throughout the book, but not for all the recipes. In keeping with a 'Christmas' book I thought the bible quotes were a lovely touch too. Thank you to the Barbour Staff, Net Galley and Barbour Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The sample copy of Christmas Delights features home-style comfy cooking recipes. The kind of recipes often found in treasured recipe boxes or church cookbooks. Throughout the cookbook you'll find color photos illustrating the recipes too.

Recommend.

Review written after downloading a galley from NetGalley.

Loved the cookbook Christmas Delights. It is full of every type of recipe that you are looking for weather for your family gathering or entertaining friends. The variety of recipes in this book is refreshing especially for a Christmas cookbook. I love how there are so many cultures and customs being represented throughout this cookbook. This book could be used when studying Christmas around the world with a class or your children at home. Recipes include beverages, breakfast/brunch, Christmas dinner (mains and sides), cookies/candy, and festive breads as well as party dishes to feed a crowd. Also included in this book is inspirational sayings and scriptures, these quotes bring joy to the reader something that is needed during the holiday season, that extra touch of encouragement during the holidays makes, this cookbook more than just an ordinary cookbook.

An absolutely delightful Christmas cookbook! It is so easy to jump on the internet and find any given recipe, but there is something special and warming to read through a selection of carefully chosen and prayed over recipes and stories. The pictures are beautiful and make me want to try each and every dish. I love the Scriptures provided at the start of each chapter and the wide variety of recipes. I cannot wait to start trying many new ones while relishing in some tried and true familiar ones as well.
I received a complimentary copy and all opinions expressed are my own and freely given.

Omg this book it’s so perfect, I love all the recipes, and I love Christmas, I can’t wait to bake this holidays, thank you so much for this amazing e-book ARC

I love a Christmas cookbook, even in the middle of the year, and nowhere near the festive season. If there is one thing I learned from this is that I need to up my Christmas cooking game...there was so much deliciousness in this book, particularly the German Overn Pancakes that had me wanting to cook them straight away.
All the recipes were set out so the ingredients were easy to read and were differentiated from the method by colour which was a nice touch.
The bible verses and prayers at the beginning of each chapter are a perfect addition to the book and are a good reminder of the season and to be thankful for all that the Lord gives us.
Overall, it is a beautiful Christmas cooking book that has recipes that can be used year round.

With the shelter in place, I have become interested in cooking again. I like this cookbook because I have most of the ingredients on hand and don't have to hunt down obscure items. There are some great Bible verses to read which gives it a nice dimension. I could have done without the one from Psalms that says a virtuous woman gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household. That may have been true in the desert before electricity but I am not sure about now (at least in my household)..

There are sections on beverages, breakfasts & brunches, Dinner, Christmas Eve celebrations, Cookies & Candy and Breads. I like the simplicity and ease of the recipes. There is a good variety of choices. I liked the Christmas Breakfast Casserole and the Butterfinger cookies were excellent. I think the Angel Food cookies will be good in the busy Christmas preparation time.

This is a great book to have both at the holiday time and throughout the year. The recipes are easy and manageable. The ingredients are usually on hand or easy to find. The food is delicious. It's a wonderful family cookbook.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This recipe book is packed with so many mouthwatering Christmas recipes that don't just have to be made at Christmas and could be made at other times during the year but is christmas themed.

Some of the recipes in the book I'd have never thought to have make so this is a fantastic cookbook for me to try new things.

The book has information and facts dotted through it about christmas too which is a lovely touch.

Lots of classic dishes. I remember a lot of theses from my grandmother and great great-aunts, a few easy updates but still classic.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.

Who doesn’t like holiday recipes? This Christmas cookbook is filled with recipes for Christmas Eve, dinner, and brunch. They seem to be from different parts of the country, based on the ingredients.
The recipes do not appear to be complicated. They are not filled with hard to find ingredients.
Thus, during a busy holiday season, it would be useful to have a practical holiday cookbook to fall back on.

I especially liked the brunch recipes. On a busy Christmas morning of opening gifts, it is nice to have a brunch dish prepared when everyone realizes they are suddenly starving. The beverage recipes were also useful and unique. I would have enjoyed more of the cookie recipes at the end of the book.

This cookbook is practical for your holiday cooking. It has some traditional recipes but it is also useful for starting new holiday traditions. This book makes a good addition to your cookbook collection.

What a gorgeous book! The recipes are clear and easy to read. Some of the recipes have pictures and they are breathtaking! This book gives you a Christmas feeling and I enjoyed reading it. I wish there were more dessert recipes and some other traditional recipes as well.

I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I loved this cookbook! I liked how the author's put together prayer, verses and facts and stories.
The recipes are very easy to follow and look delicious. The variety was so cool! There were ideas that I hadn't thought of.
I will definitely be pulling this out at Christmas time and probably other times of the year too! I am excited to try the French Hot Chocolate!
The only thing I would say that I would have liked better and it is personal preference is a picture of each recipe. But that is personal preference!
All in all a beautiful cookbook that will be sure to be used for years to come!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I was thinking what I could do for Yule/Christmas this year, since I’ll be hosting it this year for our friends and family, and it appeared on my screen It was full of classic dishes we eat around this period. The recipes were clear and joined with beautiful pictures.
I could have done without the bible texts, but that’s just because of my personal opinion on that particular religious book.
I will be getting ideas from this and looking forward for the whole cookbook.
