3.5 ⭐️ only cause it’s TOO SHORT. I could read 1,000 pages more of chestnut springs & it still wouldn’t be enough

[Grace Quan]

4.00 stars.

Usually I end up pissed off with bonus short content after a series, but this actually worked really well for me and here’s why:

It was formatted in a way so that each character was from a perspective of each mmc from the OG series. It wasn’t a collection of short stories, but 1 story that was incorporated with different perspectives. When I think of the Chestnut Springs series, I actually think of each book as their own separate unit and not something that is intertwined together by loving family dynamics. This novella reminded me of that fact and I was reminded how much I need to re read this series.

Another reason I loved this was how lighthearted it was. I went into it excited to see what it was about, and I left feeling satisfied with what I’d read.

Overall, a good experience, I probably should have waited until Christmas time but ehhhh, November is close enough.

bahhhh c'était trop bien et j'en aurai bien pris 200 pages de plus?

quel plaisir de retourner a Chestnut Springs et de retrouver Rhett, Summer, Cade, Willa, Jasper, Sloane, Théo, Winter, Beau & Bailey et leurs gosses,

j'suis pas une grande fan de noël mais c'était hyper réconfortant,
Elsie n'hésite pas à faire la même chose avec tes autres sagas maintenant stp

[Kelsey reviews•books]

Okay this was super cute!! It was honestly the perfect length for a quick holiday reunion of these hot cowboys and their hot hockey-player BFF (and their wives).

It was fun to revisit these characters and there was even a little bit of residual healing done for Theo.

Spice Level: 1-2 quick scenes, not as hot and heavy as the full books, but spicy enough to warm you up on a cold night

You can find this short ebook on Elsie Silver's website.

Santa surprises to a baby being born to everyone together happy and enjoying Christmas together.

[Tasha Penney]

[Ruth♡]

Termine está serie hace ya unos meses pero había dejado estas historias cortas para navidad, estar en el mood y amee.

Todas las historias fueron muy buenas 🌚 y candentes, fue bonito leer como están todos, se ve que la están pasando bomba, la historia del nacimiento se me hizo muy de novela de tv, me dio risa pero me encanta.

Ver a mis favoritos fue bellísimooo, te quiero Winter 💋

[zaynah ⏾⋆.˚]

[mina (obsessed)⋆. 𐙚 ˚]

ugh this is one of the best romances ever!! elsie could literally write a 1000 page book abt these characters and i would eat it up!! 😔😝

[Brittany]

This book was exactly the kind of holiday novella escape I was hoping for. It’s warm, sweet, and full of that small town charm Elsie does so well. The romance hit all the right beats…comforting, a little swoony, and just emotional enough to keep me hooked without feeling heavy.

I loved being back in this world. The characters felt familiar in the best way, and the chemistry had that effortless, slow-burn glow that just works for a Christmas romance. It gave me all the cozy winter feelings I wanted…a little surprise, snow, family chaos, and a love story that leaves you smiling.

It was the exact comfort read I needed, short and sweet…I’d happily revisit it again during the holidays. ☺️

[Dawn Laurine]

I miss this family!! This was quick, short cute read! It was nice to see all these characters coming back together again. Harvey, can I just sit down with this man and have a cup of coffee!? He cracks me up. Can we talk about my man THEO! Winter, girl you're lucky he puts up with your snarkiness. He is a saint! I love him!

Elsie please write MORE books!! I need more!

[M ♡]

This was cute and fun to read! I really missed these characters 🥺

Christmas in Chestnut Springs is a cozy, heart-warming novella that feels like stepping back into one of the most beloved cowboy romance worlds — but wrapped in twinkle lights, soft snow, and pure holiday magic.

Elsie Silver captures everything readers adore about the Chestnut Springs series and distills it into a holiday-rich, nostalgia-drenched story that feels like a warm hug. The charm of small-town traditions, the snow-kissed ranch atmosphere, and the tender, playful intimacy between familiar characters makes this novella feel like a gift just for fans.

Even in its shorter length, the story carries Silver’s signature blend of cowboy warmth, family banter, and emotional sincerity. It’s the perfect bite-sized return to a world that already feels like home — comforting, romantic, and sparkling with Christmas cheer.

A must-read for anyone who wants a sweet festive escape with their favourite Chestnut Springs cowboys
