|rating=4.5

|summary=I mentioned when reviewing [[Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle]] that there was a real lack of festive YA around – at the time, I think the choice seemed to be pretty much limited to that or ''Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares'' by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. Both fantastic books, but a thin spread compared to the amount out there for adults and for younger children. (If I’m missing obvious ones, by the way, please let me know!) Thankfully, a dozen authors, with Stephanie Perkins as the editor, have got together to produce a perfect Christmas present here with twelve short stories set around the holidays.
