Determined to make this year better for herself and her son Jack, Kate works to create her own Christmas miracle.Unlike most holiday reads, this story is not all mistletoe and gingerbread. It does have a happy ending, but the journey there is much more compelling than your typical fluffy Christmas story.Kate and Jack have been dealt a really crappy hand, and things just seem to keep getting worse, despite Kate's best intentions. But her devotion as a mother is really inspiring and relatable, and the supporting cast of friends and coworkers adds an extra layer of depth that makes the story much more enjoyable. I found myself rooting for her the entire time, and just breathing a sigh of relief when things started to work out in the end. It is just a great book and really celebrates all the intangible things that makes the holidays special. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Warm & Fuzzies *by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2019* 25 Days 'Til Christmas by Poppy Alexander: Kate loved Christmas more than anything but that was before her husband went to Afghanistan, tragically never to return leaving her to raise their then two year old son alone. For the last four years, Kate has done everything to try and keep her head above water while she and Jack adjust to their new normal. As Christmas once again approaches Kate vows that this year will be different. With the help of her friend she creates an activity advent calendar for Jack determined to bring back some of the Christmas spirit she lost. Between all of Kate's overtime hours, new challenges Jack begins to face at school and mounting financial hardships counting down to Christmas just seems to get bleaker. What Kate doesn't know yet is that there is someone else in Bristol who is just as lonely as she is. "25 Days 'Til Christmas" isn't your typical Christmas story. Kate has to go through emotional and gritty moments that are very real for people during the holiday season. Never fear though, Poppy Alexander has ultimately written a heartwarming, feel-good read that will leave you feeling all the Christmas warm and fuzzies. Pick this one up for a good read by the fire. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars ‘25 Days ‘Til Christmas’: A Bittersweet but Lovely Seasonal Novel *by R***I on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020* STORY: Things are tough for single mom Kate. Her husband died, and despite the four years since, she isn’t quite over him. Her young son Jack barely remembers his father, but he misses the comforting presence of a father. So much so he decides to ask Father Christmas for a new daddy, and hopes it’ll make Kate happy again, too. This inspires Kate to try and be present, and the best she can, to make this the best Christmas ever.She sets out to create many a fun nightly activity for Jack, and together, they recapture the spirit of the season. What she doesn’t anticipate is seeing the quiet man she met through her job as a Christmas tree farm employee. Two lost souls rediscover something they’ve been missing as they navigate this Christmas season of unexpected moments and discoveries.25 Days ‘Til Christmas by Poppy Alexander | Book ReviewREVIEW: This is one of those books I’m unsure why I picked up since its premise sounds more bittersweet than joyful, and the latter is 100% my preference. Still, knowing this is one of the older Christmas novels on my shelf, I picked this one up in the hopes there’d be a lovely little story inside.Despite this, it’s important to note, this book is still bittersweet. Particularly in the latter portion (almost the end) when there’s implications of suicide; even if this is one of those mistaken assumptions, the implication is still here. This along with the general dismal outlook of life Kate has to endure makes this read a bit more of a serious “weight.” On the flip side of this, the story has moments of joy with young Jack, and the occasions when Kate lets her self breathe, and be more in the moment; for example, there’s a sweet sequence of them going sledding.Kate is a heroine we become a bit frustrated with just because she a defeatist outlook, but that said, it’s also understandable given all the challenges she encounters. Daniel similarly has a kind of rough go of life which again, I’m sorry, but it does weigh the story down sometimes. This book is properly British (down to its phrasing) which makes reading it fun for those of us who enjoy a good armchair culture experience. There’s too much time between meeting our characters and seeing them together, which is a shame. But on the other hand, they’re all characters we champion and want to see find a happier future, and the way things ultimately work out brings a smile to the reader’s face. That is always enough for me, and as such, 25 Days ‘Til Christmas is a sweet read.Content: there are implications of suicide and an assault (non-graphic, and the victim gets away). There’s some British slang/profanity, but again, nothing terrible (it’s infrequent). There’s some minor sexual innuendo as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - 25 Days 'Til Christmas: A Cozy Advent-Inspired Holiday Romance - The 12 Days of Christmas (-) - The Littlest Library: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/163149202-25-days-til-christmas-a-cozy-advent-inspired-holiday-romance](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/163149202-25-days-til-christmas-a-cozy-advent-inspired-holiday-romance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
