Overall, a solid 4-star holiday cookbook that's as chic as it is cozy—perfect for anyone looking to elevate their holiday meals.

Filled with lots of creative holiday related recipes from drinks to appetizer to dessert. Recipes are easily laced out with the servings, ingredient list and easy to follow directions. I wish recipes included the time to make the recipe and equipment needed to prepare before making. An index at the end organizes recipes by ingredients such as recipes with apples or eggs which can be great when working with an excess amount of certain ingredients.

A very nice Christmas cookbook, it could have been a little more varied, but not a bad idea! It has many interesting ideas, definitely a book to consult every Christmas.

I loved this holiday recipe cook book especially the images, photography and recipe titles. This cook book is full of Christmas spirit and joy and will make you smile with amazing, easy, simple recipes.
I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for Christmas inspiration and simple recipes during the festive holidays.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC copy.

I wanted to like this Christmas book so much! What reeled me in was the word “cozy” in the title. And while the recipes were certainly Christmassy, it lacked “onlyness factor,” coziness, and made me skim rather than dive in and grab my ingredients. Unfortunately, this book will not be considered for my personal cookbook collection. Solid idea, though!

Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year and this cookbook makes it all the better! I'm not much of a cook but I do love eating especially at Christmas. This book gave me lots of wonderful ideas for yummy treats.

I absolutely love the artwork in this cookbook! It is so cute. The recipes are fantastic, great for large parties. My family absolutely loves the food I made for them this year.

What a fun themed cookbook! It was fun to flip through and pick recipes for the holiday season! I’m excited to use this in the future!

Lovely achievable recipes, perfect for the holiday season. Some twists that were interesting but not overly needed
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

simple modern takes. the radish recipe was really good and new idea
Jingle Bell Rockin’ Radishes
Ummm I would have never guessed to put radishes in the air fryer but these are super simple and yummy! I will be adding these in. It my side today with fish and potatoes 🥔
will have to try more.

Thank you to #NetGalley for an ARC of this book
The Cozy Christmas Cookbook should not be overlooked for any other dinner parties outside of the holidays. This book features of a variety of comforting recipes with beautiful photographs. When I think of Christmas dinner I imagine roast, ham, turkey, all the fixings - but this book has a little something for everyone and they could easily be made all year round for any occasion. My personal favourite is the "Mama's Lasagna Cups" imagine showing up to a potluck with those badboys ready to go. Who doesn't love lasagna?! There's even a pumpkin pie creme brulee reciepe that has me salivating - I need to try this recipe ASAP!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious ideas for dinner parties.

These have cute titles but felt like pretty generic, boring recipes. I love to cook but at this point books really have to stand out to be purchaseable, otherwise you can find whatever you need online.
The pictures were fine but not stand-outs.
Some of the recipes are really basic - like crostini? That recipe needs to be paired with something to put it with like a dip, I’m not sure just having it listed in the party board on the next page is enough.
The Christmas breakfast is not a recipe, it is plating instructions for food that was bought or pre-cooked. Same with the rudolph burgers - what is the burger recipe?
Why is the pancake recipe suddenly containing so many odd ingredients - is it gluten free? That should be called out if so. This is a thing throughout - if the alterations are there to make it fit a certain dietary need, label it as such (e.g., coconut milk hot chocolate?). The alterations feel unnecessary if they are not meant to meet certain restrictions, but then to the unknowledgeable eye, I don’t know what they are trying to do.
There are typos as well -e.g., see “spicey” in the Fajita recipe.

Food brings people together. I love the Christmas season, and I love to cook so I was thrilled to receive an ARC copy of this book. The delightful scents of peppermint and cinnamon as well as apple cider waffle through the house. One of the highlights of the Christmas season in our home is hosting a party for friends and neighbors. The Cozy Christmas Cookbook is the perfect addition to my seasonal cookbooks. The recipes in this book are bright, cheerful and delicious. There are 50 easy recipes in this book. Who could resist Orange Glazed Ham, Quiche Me Under the Mistletoe, I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas Nog, and so many other tempting recipes.
The recipes in The Cozy Christmas Cookbook are easy to make even for a novice. They portray the heart of Christmas; some are classics, and some add a twist to the customary dishes. Author Taylor Vance adds personal notes to the entries. The photos are beautifully done. The instructions are easy to follow.
If you only have one Christmas cookbook it should be this one.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

Thank you to NetGalley for letting me review this cute cookbook.
There are a few things I really liked about this book. The presentation was adorable - lots of sweet illustrations which made this feel extra festive. I loved that each recipe was accompanied by a yummy looking photo. I particularly enjoyed the savoury recipes, but noticed the sweet ones had a lot of alternative, “healthier” ingredients that I don’t typically have in my home or use in festive recipes so I didn’t reach for those as much. Overall, this is a nice option for people who need some holiday inspiration!

This little Christmas cookbook is great. There are traditional dishes and surprises, with fun twists on some of them. The photography is great, and I thought these dishes would be great for a party. The directions are simple, too, so anyone could do this. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

This was beautifully put together! Like most cookbooks, there were plenty recipes to choose from so everyone should find something that appeals to them. I walked away from this with many recipes to try out!

A cute and cozy cookbook with 50 recipes for Christmas and winter gatherings. There are photographs that accompany each recipe. I thank Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group/Rock Point for the opportunity to read and review this adorable cookbook.

The Cozy Christmas Cookbook is a cookbook filled with recipes that evoke the spirit of Christmas. From a classic spiced mocktail to trendier recipes like vegan Chocolate Peppermint Avocado Mousse, this book includes all kinds of recipes with Christmas-inspired ingredients.

I hosted Christmas again and had been on the lookout for fun new ideas. But after looking through this book, I didn’t feel inspired to make anything in it. I thought the recipe titles felt forced, maybe even a bit lazy. It does seem like a nice cookbook for a beginner cook. The recipes look easy to follow.
Thank you for the advance read!

The Cozy Christmas Cookbook by Taylor Vance is a great resource for Christmas cooking and baking for the Christmas celebration. Any of these recipes can be cooked at any time during the Christmas season.
