20 Favorite Christmas and Winter Books for Preschoolers
See the top Christmas and winter books for preschoolers, ranging from babies to toddlers. Includes classic, modern, and funny books. Great way to start holiday traditions in families!
Every month, one of Emma Ramey's favorite things to do is flip through and pick out books from her school's book order flyer. This month's edition was especially Christmas-heavy, and it had me reminiscing about some my favorite Christmas and Winter books. There are so many classics that are themed around this time of the year!
I thought I'd share a few of my personal favorites. This is in no particular order. Some of these we own, and some are just my favorites from my teaching days that are on our list to buy. Most (not all) of these are award-winning classics, but there are a few fun new ones thrown into the mix too!
