I love all of the Hallmark Channel Christmas Countdown movies that I’ve been watching. So, I decided to spend the weekend curled up with a good book and a cup of tea.

Christmas in Evergreen: Bells are Ringing
I was so excited when I learned that there were four new Hallmark Christmas books out this year. They are On Christmas Avenue (9.21), Mistletoe in Juneau (10.19), Wrapped Up in Christmas Hope (10.26), and Christmas in Evergreen: Bells are Ringing (11.2). They are all part of Hallmark Publishing.
About the book
Life is going great for Hannah, really. She’s fallen in love with her best friend, her brother is getting married, and she’s looking forward to another festive Christmas in Evergreen. Still, between her job, taking charge of the choir, and being the town’s jill-of-all-trades, she’s feeling uninspired…especially when Elliot starts to question his own role in the town.
Hannah finds fresh inspiration in the brand-new Evergreen Christmas Museum, and she volunteers for their storytelling project. When she interviews her fellow Evergreenians, however, she learns that not everyone wants the museum around; specifically, Mr. Cooper who owns a third of the building. As Hannah finds herself with more and more responsibilities, and as her relationships with Elliot and her family grow strained, she starts to wonder about what she really wants. Can her love and newly-found purpose survive the changes that loom after the holidays are over?
Christmas in Evergreen is available in Paperback, e-book, and Audiobook. Learn more about the book.
About Author Lacey Baker:
Lacey Baker, a Maryland native, lives with her husband, three children, grandson, and English Bulldog in what most would call Suburban America–a townhouse development where everybody knows each other and each other’s kids. Family cook-outs, reunion vacations, and growing up in church have all inspired Lacey to work towards her dreams and to write about the endurance of family and the quest to find everlasting love.
To date, she has written in several genres including small-town romance, YA paranormal (as Artist Arthur), a cozy mystery series titled Rumors, and adult paranormal (as A.C. Arthur). Christmas in Evergreen is her latest.

Christmas in Evergreen: Bells are Ringing review
This book is based on the Hallmark Channel original premier of the same name. And, it takes place in the fictional town of Evergreen, Vermont which made it all the more fun to read. So, this is the fourth in the series. It builds on the other books that all take place in Evergreen, Vermont. This series focused on a different romantic interest in each book. The fourth book (this one) focuses more on Colin who is the “Scrooge” of the story. And, of course, it focuses on Hannah and Elliot – the two main characters of the book.
Even though Evergreen is not a real town in Vermont, the story really gave me all the same small town feelings I have for the towns I visit here. I love the way the author wove everyone together in an interesting way so it really felt like I got to know the characters. I almost felt like I was part of the town, sitting in on their events and enjoying Christmas with them.
And, you will love that there is a delicious recipe inspired by the story included! I can’t wait to try it.
If you enjoy small-town romances, you really need to read Christmas in Evergreen: Bells are Ringing today. Learn more about the book.
