I haven't read this book yet but I can't wait to do so with this great and bookmark talking points. There’s something wildly fulfilling about sitting in a room (or Zoom square) with people who get it—who light up over the same plot twist, who argue passionately about a morally gray character, who aren’t afraid to say, “That ending? Trash.” I'll make sure to get to this soon.

This is hands down my favorite printable bookmark I’ve ever seen and I will immediately be downloading it. This also has themed recipes which I will be trying with my book club.

A kit for a book club! Really creative and I can’t wait to use this alongside my read of the book. I’ve been meaning to start this for a long time.

What a fun Holiday Romcom 😍
Literally got sucked in from page one! It’s so chaotic and I loved every bit of it!
I mean, I had an inkling I was gonna like it since I read the synopsis… A prince of Halloween, a prince of Christmas, it’s gay, fake competition… you know I’d be interested 😂
Coal gave me such Dee vibes from Voyage Of The Damned! They’re both chaotic, loyal and want to do good and that made me like Coal even more because of that! And Hex needs to drop us them corset links so we can match.

Make sure to preorder your copy if the below is up your ally:
🎄 Queer Romance
💀 Bisexual MC
🎄Holiday Magic
💀 Rivals
🎄 Fake Competition

This wasn’t what I expected I honestly still do not know what to do with a book club kit. With that being said however, this did lead me to read this wonderful book MM romance story. I absolutely loved it, and I cannot wait to read the next one. 5/5 Stars!

I love holiday books and this one is no different! Using this club kit helped our book club discuss this book in a much more constructive manner.

This was such a joy of an activity/discussion kit. The Nightmare Before Kissmas is already such a fun, unique, light story, but the interview and questions in this kit really showed the depth the author takes these characters, and how real life situations and issues intersect with even the most joyful of times (and holidays!)

The recipes and little games at the end were also perfect for the setting of this book. I can so easily see a Book Club using this as a framework for a fun, cozy, festive get-together.

I hadn’t heard of this book until I saw the book club kit—and now it’s on my library’s order list and in my digital collection! This kit is seriously adorable and so well done.

The author interview, thoughtful discussion questions, and cute bookmarks were all highlights—and don’t even get me started on the cheeky cocktail recipes (Trick or Heat? Yes, please 🍸). Loved the playlist, recs, and sneak peek at the next book too.

Such a fun, aesthetically pleasing resource—can’t wait to check out the rest! 💖📚

While not an actual book I thought this resource guide was perfect! It was a useful tool in my belt for my book club as we read this book.

Super cute & a great resource for a festive holiday romance featuring some of my favorite tropes & two lovable MCs. Writing style was acceptable for the genre.

🎄🖤 Disaster bi icon Nicholas “Coal” Claus is literally the heir to Christmas—and boy, does he make it weird. After tanking the economy (oops?) and drunkenly making out with a hot stranger behind a bar, he finds out said stranger is actually Hex Hallow, heir of Halloween. AND his new fake enemy. Cue the slow burn chaos, magical politics, and daddy (Santa) issues.

I came for cozy holiday romance. I stayed for the emotional gut-punches, queer rep, labor rights, and holiday kingdom drama that felt like The Nightmare Before Christmas met Red, White & Royal Blue and had a glittery, angsty baby.

It’s sweet, smart, and surprisingly deep—with a foundation of grief and healing buried under the tinsel and sexual tension.

Cute book club kit, the book itself is very cozy I really liked it, with this kit I felt like I could start my own book club

I seriously can’t put into words how much I loved this book! Everything about it brought me so much joy. The idea of Holidays being royalty was such a fun and creative concept, and their world was pure magic. It felt like watching my favorite Christmas movies for the first time as a kid... It gave me that same cozy, nostalgic feeling. The characters were absolutely perfect! Funny, charming, adorable and now that I finished reading it I find myself constantly missing them. This was the perfect Book Club read! It's been a while since I've found myself smiling so much while reading a book, now I’m just wishing I could experience it all over again!

This kit is great. Helps with the talking points, book clubs, and social media platforms. I highly recommend if you need it.

I feel like this would be great for a certain kind of book club. It certainly feels like the guide wants to help the reader engage with the text in a group setting (the whole point of a book club), but I did feel like many of the prompt discussion questions are very shallow in nature. The discussion seems to hinge more on the overall aesthetic of the book rather than delving into the themes. It does discuss the themes a bit, so it's not too bad, but I feel like there could be more depth to the discussion questions. Outside of that I think the interview with the author is well done, and the bonus materials, like the bookmarks, party games, and themed drinks are wonderful. As a book club guide for a group leaning more towards having a fun book themed party rather than a deep text discussion, I think it works great. Given the lighthearted nature of the book itself, I think this will fit most of the individuals looking for a book club guide, but I still feel it could have delved deeper on analysis and theme for more lit focused book clubs.

This book club kit had great questions and was a wonderful addition for our book club. I would definitely recommend it for others.

This kit is perfect for my local readers group! We are not in a formal book club, but love to get together and talk about the books we are all reading. I look forward to trying out the cocktails while doing some of the activities and talking about an amazing book!
