Publisher Description
This instant New York Times bestseller from Christina Lauren will wrap you “in its cozy, jolly embrace like a beloved holiday sweater” (Entertainment Weekly) as Maelyn Jones discovers what happens when Christmas wishes comes true.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions.
But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will spend at her favorite place in the world—the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy.
The next thing she knows, tires screech, metal collides, and everything goes black. But when Mae gasps awake…she’s on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop—and finally get her true love under the mistletoe.
“Take one lovably flawed heroine, add a doting boy-next-door hero, and sprinkle in a cozy family holiday, and you have the recipe for a delicious time-looping romantic comedy” (Library Journal, starred review) that will make you believe in the power of wishes and the magic of the holidays.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
There’s something fascinating about stories where a character is trapped into reliving the same day over and over. But what if the day you kept repeating was a special one…like Christmas? In this audiobook, Maelyn is in a romantic and professional rut when she learns that her lifelong friend Andrew’s family is selling the beloved Utah cabin where everyone she’s closest to gathers for Christmas. Desperately sad, she asks the universe what will make her happy. And the universe answers! Mae is thrown into a time loop, waking up on a plane bound for Utah again and again, working up the nerve to finally tell Andrew about her longtime unspoken crush on him. We loved how writing duo Christina Lauren use this sudden shift into the paranormal to add a fun sense of adventure to Mae’s conundrum. Patti Murin is the perfect narrator, channeling Mae’s romantic angst and fizzy excitement through her expressive voice. If you’ve ever wished for a do-over (and who hasn’t?), In a Holidaze may be a repeat listen.

See AllKept my attention
I was looking for a book that I could listen to during my weekly commute. One that was engaging and didn’t easily bore me. From the very beginning this one captured my attention! I’m happy to say I finished it and would listen again.
Secretly (not so secretly) LOVED it!
(Sorry Spoilers!)
I loved this fun Groundhog-Day-esque book! I was a little confused when I first realized the time loop was for real. The fantasy piece of it was new for CL but I was pleasantly surprised. This was seriously a wonderful and endearing story with all of the holiday feels. I even started calling my wiggly baby “Noodle” involuntarily 😬
