One thing I absolutely love about the holiday season is all the fantastic books about December holidays! Every December, I read at least one adult holiday book and one YA holiday book. This year, I think my YA choice will be Sleepless in Dubai by Sajni Patel.
I’m currently undecided about my adult holiday read. I love the adorable book covers of all the holiday rom-coms for adults, but I want something different this year. Maybe a mystery or something scary? Not sure. I’m still looking around. If you have a great adult holiday read to recommend, feel free to send me an email and let me know!
For today, I’ve got a December Holidays Digital Booktalk for you! It’s totally free and editable. You can add a copy to your Google Drive from the link below. Once you do that, you can edit, add, or delete slides as needed to suit your library.
The titles in this December Holidays Digital Booktalk include picture books, middle grades, and YA titles.

I included some fantastic titles below, many of which have starred professional reviews. Some have also won book awards, so it can also make a great collection development tool.
