The Mail-Order Brides’ First Christmas series by Elissa Strati captures the experience of women spending their first holiday season in a new home with a new husband. Each of the 22 books follows a different bride, and the titles pair a Christmas-themed gift or wish with the heroine’s name, like A Christmas Coat for Abigail and A Christmas Kiss for Kate.
Published between 2021 and 2024, the series is one of Strati’s longer holiday collections. The stories explore the awkwardness and warmth of new marriages during the most family-oriented time of year. Whether the bride receives a Christmas miracle, a Christmas wish, or a Christmas home, each book ends with the couple finding their footing together. Readers who enjoy gentle, holiday-focused Western romance will find this series has plenty of seasonal reading material.
