Description
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Pamela Kelley invites readers to experience the warm glow of family, friends, and festivities this Christmas. Come spend the holidays on Nantucket.
Nantucket's famous Christmas Stroll is always the first week of December and this year Mimi's Place co-owners want to do something extra special for the restaurant. It will be Emma and Paul's first Christmas together as a couple and Mandy's first holiday as a newly divorced mother of two. Although Mandy does have a promising new relationship, she wants to take things very slow, and the holidays are for sure not the time to dive in too deep.
Their sister Jill and her new husband, Billy, are planning to spend the whole month of December on Nantucket too, juggling remote work for the executive search firm they own together in Manhattan with relaxing, spending time with family, and helping out at the restaurant too.
Gina Caruso, the awesome bar manager, is spending her first winter on Nantucket after having lived for years in Boston. It's a bit of an adjustment—winters on Nantucket are so much quieter than the city life she was used to. She's even more confused when someone she had a major crush on back in the city moves to Nantucket, while Jared Hawthorne, the new sous chef at Mimi's Place makes it his mission to introduce Gina to all of Nantucket's holiday festivities. Suddenly her boring winter is starting to look a lot more interesting.

5 stars — Cozy, heartfelt, and full of holiday magic
I absolutely adored Christmas at the Nantucket Restaurant! Set during the island’s beloved Christmas Stroll, this story wraps you up in twinkle lights, delicious food, and the beautiful messiness of family and love during the holidays.
Emma and Paul are celebrating their first Christmas together as a couple, while Mandy—newly divorced and navigating single motherhood—is cautiously exploring a new relationship. Jill and Billy, balancing their busy NYC careers, return to the island for a month of family, food, and festive cheer. And then there’s Gina, the bar manager whose quiet Nantucket winter suddenly gets a lot more interesting when someone from her past shows up… just as the charming new sous chef takes her under his wing.
I loved how each storyline was woven with care and heart, offering a little something for everyone: romance, second chances, sisterhood, and that warm, cozy holiday feeling. This book is a celebration of starting over, leaning into the magic of the season, and finding joy in the unexpected.

I LOVED this book! It had everything I love in a holiday book. It was so Christmas-y and cozy. It was fun to see what all the characters were up to after the first book. Highly recommend for a Christmas read, no spice and everything nice!! Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!
